Great! Let me try again.

The DNS message format is defined specifically for two transports. Looking at the format without looking at the transports, one can imagine a message that cannot be carried in either format. However, the original specifications and all the ones since have always treated the message format as being handled in one of the two transports.

When we define a new transport that allows messages different than the ones we have always assumed, gatewaying those different messages will be different than gatewaying between the two current transports and thus have an impact on the rest of the DNS.

The WG charter we are working under clearly says:
  Specification of how DNS-formatted data may be used for use cases beyond
  normal DNS queries is out of scope for the working group.
Creating new queries, to me, seems "beyond normal DNS queries".
