ACL's. but i'll still likely use
raw HTTP in some situations, so that should also be specified, even if 
explicitly discommended by the final
published document.

So raw DNS on a port other than 53 is not something that would need a
big new RFC. And we have dprive doing DNS over TLS.

If TLS is just to break through broken or blocked port 53, we don't need
an HTTP(S) RESTful interface. Raw DNS in TLS would work fine. Same for
raw DNS on port non-53.

So what is the use case for the REST interface?

And yes, I'm a little prejudiced in trying to not add port 80/443 as
another encapsulation layer underneath the internet.
