Hi all,

I have to admit that I haven't worked through the HTTPSSVC/SVCB draft in detail, 
but while it seems to provide much more functionality than the ANAME (as it 
addresses other problems, too), I see a major drawback in comparison to the 
ANAME draft, namely that there seems to be no fallback for old browsers (and 
robot software accessing websites) being defined. Of course, authoritative name 
servers could implement a similar mechanism as specified in the ANAME draft. The 
question would be whether it needs to be addressed in the HTTPSSVC/SVCB 
specification in an appropriate manner.

Regards,

Klaus
