Hi!

The DANE working group has a draft about Oppurtunistic DANE TLS. As Paul has a draft that defines Oppurtunistic TLS, I thought it would be a good thing to be aware of in this group. Here's the author's definition:

"opportunistic DANE TLS:  Best-effort use of TLS, resistant to
      downgrade attacks for destinations with DNSSEC-validated TLSA
      records.  When opportunistic DANE TLS is determined to be
      unavailable, clients should fall back to opportunistic TLS below.
      Opportunistic DANE TLS requires support for DNSSEC, DANE and
      STARTTLS on the client side and STARTTLS plus a DNSSEC published
      TLSA record on the server side."
