i'm glad you asked. operating systems, web browsers, and endpoint 
security has a pretty good handle today on data plane attacks, even if 
delivered over https. they do not however have a handle on control plane 
attacks, such as can be delivered or administered via DNS.

http://www.circleid.com/posts/20100728_taking_back_the_dns/

if ubiquitous perimeter security policy bypass via https becomes the 
norm, then far more https will have to be intercepted or blocked than is 
done today. the DOH WG is playing chicken with network operators. i wish 
they could see down the road a bit further than they do.
