Hi, Shane:

Given BCP 188 ("Pervasive Monitoring Is a Widespread Attack on Privacy"
and "The IETF Will Work to Mitigate Pervasive Monitoring"), I'm a bit
disappointed that "HTTPS" is spelled "HTTP(S)" in your document :-) If
you're going to go to the trouble of defining a new transport for DNS,
what's the rationale for allowing the transport to permit plaintext?
