That case was about mandatory web filtering, and presumably logging addresses
of individual http clients.  I see no relationship to the addresses of
name servers, which by their nature are unlikely to be on an individual's
computer and which are already published.

In any event, as I've said several times, this would be a useful
query, and if there are services that can't provide responses, so be
it.  Put it on the list of things that it would be to have and move
ahead.

No, the IETF develops standards, the use of which is entirely
voluntary.  It's up to you to obey the law of the jurisdiction where
you live.
