A reader who has not been privy to the repeated discussions on the mailing list has no context within the document itself to accurately judge the distinction. If these terms were defined it would be easy to state what is in scope and what is out of scope and clarify the document further. If we as a WG struggle to define them then that in itself speaks to a lack of consensus on the problem statement.

Without a discussion here on proposed text about what either of you think configuration is, any attempt that we make has a high chance of making the wording worse for the majority, not better. (My personal preference is to defer this discussion to DRIU because configuration is an issue for all DNS clients, not just those using DOH, but am happy to hear new wording as long as the WG has energy to grind on this.)
