In RFC 6125, Jeff Hodges and I tried hard to define some terminology
related to certificate checking in TLS. That terminology might not be
ideal, but I'd like to see if we can align draft-ogud-dane-vocabulary
with the RFC 6125 terms.

In particular, RFC 6125 uses the term "source domain" to refer to the
fully qualified domain name that a TLS client expects to find in the
certificate (or, in DANE, potentially the key) that is presented by
the TLS server. RFC 6125 also uses the term "derived domain" to refer
to a domain name (or host name) that the client has derived from the
source domain in an automated fashion (e.g., via a DNS SRV record).

As far as I can determine, draft-ogud-dane-vocabulary uses the terms
"Query [Name]" and "Final [Name]" for something like "source domain"
and "derived domain". However, draft-ogud-dane-vocabulary also uses
the terms "Service Specification Records" and "Service Address
Records" in a way that might be similar, although I confess that I
don't really grok draft-ogud-dane-vocabulary in fullness and the
latter two terms are unclear to me.

Naming is hard, and I hope we can get it right.
