This document is a BCP, and it creates no new protocol or on-the-wire-bits.

It may be an appropriate document for IOTOPS if OPSAWG does not wish to work
on it.  Actually, I'm more and more convinced that this is an important
aspect for an IETF architectural view on IoT.

The ADD WG chairs examined it, as it has policy about when (not) to use
DoT/DoH/QuadX-Do53, but determined that it was not in the rather narrow ADD
charter.

I would like to get early review from DNSOP, and I will endeavour to get that
early in the new year.
