Yup.

No, you're not missing anything but we're a sideshow.  Down the virtual hall in 
DNSOP
they're having a similar discussion about PQ DNSSEC signatures.  Verisign has a 
proposal
to make a Merkle tree out of all of the signatures.  That lets the record 
contain a
moderate sized hash, but it makes signing and verifying orders of magnitude 
more complex
compared to the current checking one signature at a time.

There is considerable disagreement about how well DNS over TCP works.  It 
mostly works but
there is a long tail of ancient devices and middle boxes, and a lot of opinions 
about
how long and how important the tail is.

My guess is that they'll eventually bite the bullet and say that TCP support, 
which has always
been nominally required is now really required, but it'll take a while.

R's,
John
