Re: [Doh] Seeking input on draft-03

WRT the removal of .wk:

* its previous presence had never been meant as a discovery mechanism of
the form "I know a hostname, therefore I know the URL". origin is a
security primitive for http, but its not an addressing primitive for http
services such as a DoH endpoint.. indeed the DoH server might sensibly wish
to offer multiple URIs on the same host (in the same way some free dns
providers make a variety of resolution policies available with different IP
addresses).  The configuration primitive for a DoH server is the URI - not
origin.

* I had originally included .wk as a bit of future proofing for a use case
not part of the DoH charter (not to enable it, but being sure not to
preclude it at a later time). I have been convinced that .wk is not
necessary for that - and so it was removed from the draft. I regret that
these two things were confused by readers of <= -02 due to my own
composition skills (or lack thereof).

As to Stephen's query - this was both discussed f2f in singapore and
https://github.com/dohwg/draft-ietf-doh-dns-over-https/issues/24 . Of
course there hasn't been consensus declared on the issue - the editors are
just trying to make the newer drafts as closely aligned with the group's
discussion as we can manage as part of the process.
