Many thanks for that reference.  The ensuing conversation on the LE
forum uncovered a second potential future incompatibility to plan for:

    
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/short-chain-and-dane/208422/8?u=ietf-dane

Let's Encrypt are apparently also planning to *randomise* the choice of
intermediate issuer CA used with each renewal.  Instead of consistently
using say "R3", they'll randomly choose one of R3/R4/E1/E2.

Therefore, anyone who publishes TLSA records for just one of the 4
issuers, will eventually also be "disappointed".

If you're using Let's Encrypt as your CA and prefer to publish
DANE-TA(2), rather than DANE-EE(3) TLSA records, please look over:

    <http://dnssec-stats.ant.isi.edu/~viktor/x3hosts.html>

carefully, and publish all four of the **required** TLSA records, for
each MX host:

    _25._tcp.mx1.org.example. IN TLSA 2 1 1 
8d02536c887482bc34ff54e41d2ba659bf85b341a0a20afadb5813dcfbcf286d ; R3
    _25._tcp.mx1.org.example. IN TLSA 2 1 1 
e5545e211347241891c554a03934cde9b749664a59d26d615fe58f77990f2d03 ; R4
    _25._tcp.mx1.org.example. IN TLSA 2 1 1 
276fe8a8c4ec7611565bf9fce6dcace9be320c1b5bea27596b2204071ed04f10 ; E1
    _25._tcp.mx1.org.example. IN TLSA 2 1 1 
bd936e72b212ef6f773102c6b77d38f94297322efc25396bc3279422e0c89270 ; E2
    ...

or if you prefer:

    _25._tcp.mx1.org.example. IN CNAME _25._tlsa.org.example.
    _25._tcp.mx2.org.example. IN CNAME _25._tlsa.org.example.
    ...
    _25._tcp.mxN.org.example. IN CNAME _25._tlsa.org.example.
    ;
    _25._tlsa.org.example. IN TLSA 2 1 1 
8d02536c887482bc34ff54e41d2ba659bf85b341a0a20afadb5813dcfbcf286d ; R3
