That's one small bit, but my focus is actually more prosaic.

unless you are pushing into a .wk that carries a semantic meaning, the
client really doesn't know what to do with this application/json-dns data.
Sure its DNS data but should it be used for resolutions? Maybe its part of
a file system backup, or the archive of a dataset from some uni project, or
whatever.. I think we need more info than "thiis is DNS info" to use it for
a resolution - and a path seems like the way to express that to me.
