The latter is an example for "FUD and flame wars by I-Ds".
Doug should patent this idea if there's no prior art. Bye.
Nice list. I'm not smart enough to tell if draft-otis is FUD or real
worries. I do see that there is a big push to make the DNS queries really
efficient, and capable of withstanding the worst DoS attack
imaginable. CSV does the authentication check in one query, using an SRV
record.

As I understand it, the IP addresses returned in an SRV record are single
addresses, and only a few will fit. There is also some really awkward
re-definition of existing fields in the SRV record. I think the need for
authentication is universal enough that it deserves its own new record
type.
CSV only deals with HELO/EHLO. Since so many mail servers have a bogus
HELO/EHLO these days it's near term utility seems questionable.
