It isn't so much ordering that is the problem, but not delaying answer B
when answer A suffers packet loss. I'm kind of curious about what the
relative trade-offs might be between DoQ and DoT with a decent SACK
implementation, when there is not much latency between the client and the
resolver. DNS-over-DTLS will need its own application layer retry
strategy. I kind of prefer the idea of DNS being able to re-use a good
off-the-shelf transport protocol rather than doing its own thing.
