Re: [DNSOP] Fwd: HTTPSSVC record draft

The need to bootstrap ESNI (encrypted SNI) keys via DNS is the forcing
function here for clients.  They need to do something new here to address
that, and if that requires an additional lookup then there is opportunity
if other problems can be solved at the same time as long as we don't slow
down ESNI deployment or hurt performance over an ESNI-specific solution.
