I'm sure you're not trying to undermine the standards process, but that's
what happens as a side effect of statements like that. We're at an -01,
let's discuss (as Brian does downthread) the reasoning behind design
decisions and see if we can get to consensus on them without threatening to
take the ball and go home already. If there is eventual consensus and
you're in the rough and feel its bad for your product then the appropriate
thing to do is not to implement a standard you don't believe in. but
implementing a different protocol and calling it httpsssvc does nothing but
lead to breakage and undermine the entire point of having a standards based
definition.

Maybe you mean you strongly believe this standard should allow at most 2
links?

Brian has got a good point that these are pointers, and pointers don't know
how long the list is and the parties in the list are not strongly
coordinated (which is what makes a pointer powerful - its permissionless).
This also complicates ESNI, but its a fact of life. Also, people trade
latency off against indirection all of the time for reasons they think are
valuable (that's true of DNS but also in general). It would be interesting
to study the distribution of chain lengths, but I can say off the cuff that
3 is really common in web space and imo, this spec should be aligning
itself with existing deployment strategies in order to make its own path to
deployment as frictionless as possible.
