Yah, I agree -- but, the proposed text suggests that you can use either A
or .
I'm assuming that implementations will default to QTYPE=A now, but, Real
Soon Now, once IPv6 is all deployed, will default to QTYPE=.
I'm presuming that implementers will be bright enough to choose the most
dominant / least borken QTYPE over time.

Actually, it might not be quite as effective in practice.  The reason is
that "" records are absent more often than "A" records, and when "A"
records are present, but "" records are not, "" queries elicit a
"denial of existence" response.

Unfortunately, broken denial of existence, though rare, is not as
infrequent as I'd like.  I see a non-negligible set of names where "A"
queries return answers, but "" queries SERVFAIL.

I am not aware of any advantage to using "" for the qname
minimisation queries, so "A" appears to me to be the better choice.

Thank you for the work put into this document. A simple but efficient technique.

Please find below one blocking DISCUSS point (probably easy to address).

Please also address Jean-Michel Combes' INTDR review at
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/review-ietf-dnsop-rfc7816bis-10-intdir-telechat-combes-2021-08-20/

Special thanks to Tim Wicinski for his shepherd's write-up notably about the WG
consensus.

I hope that this helps to improve the document,

Regards,

== DISCUSS ==

-- Section 2.1 --
I support Erik Kline's COMMENT on this and am raising it to a blocking DISCUSS.

A/ in all the discussion in the last §, a  would have the same benefit when
compared to a NS QTYPE. Or what did I miss ?

B/ the last two sentences "Another potential benefit...happy eyeballs query for
the A QTYPE." are puzzling as using A QTYPE will actually only cache the A
answer for the minimized request and more and more Internet users are using
IPv6 nowadays (and possibly even more recursive DNS servers).

Hence, I would welcome some discussion in the last § about the benefit of using
A QTYPE rather than  QTYPE and, as suggested by Erik Kline, please remove
the last 2 sentences.
