DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think this is a useful document and I will ballot Yes once my small issues are resolved:

1) In 3.4:

   The first RRset in the chain MUST contain the TLSA record set being
   presented.  However, if the owner name of the TLSA record set is an
   alias (CNAME or DNAME), then it MUST be preceded by the chain of
   alias records needed to resolve it.  DNAME chains should omit

SHOULD? What are the implications if this is not followed?

   unsigned CNAME records that may have been synthesized in the response
   from a DNS resolver.

2) TLS 1.3 needs to be a normative reference, but it is not even listed in References.

The first mention of NSEC3 need a normative reference.
