Of course, but in fact it appears that one of the primary use cases for DoH is DoC.   I would have thought that the primary use case for DoH was to bypass network censorship, but when I suggested as much during the discussion on the draft, the response I got suggested that the authors really hadn’t had that in mind, and that indeed the use case they had had in mind was DNS resolution in HTTP sessions by Javascript clients.   Which is, pretty much, DoC, although not the use case that subsequently emerged, where browsers do it instead of using the local resolver.

There isn’t a criticism in here from me—it seems clear that DoC is something that exists or doesn’t based on what browser vendors do, and if we really care about it, the knob we have to turn is not not having the specification, but rather being selective in what browsers we use, or in how they are configured.
