I've seen that draft before.  It's a sort of "DNS UPDATE over HTTPS"
system.  While there may be some overlap in what it provides, it doesn't
have the same goals or applicability of our draft.  We're trying to write
something that can be inserted into the existing ecosystem with limited
overhead.  Something like draft-hildebrand-deth requires authentication,
whereas this scheme doesn't.

We've also received a fair bit of push-back to any suggestion that we might
expand this protocol to allow updates of NS records.
