number, call it "DNS V2", let initiators treat UDP/53 as a fallback
path, then sixteen years would have been much too short. many people
would have come out of the woodwork to help us. we would have unicode
encoding of all names, XML encoding of all transactions, TLS security
for all parts of the path, X.509 dependencies, no possibility of DANE,
and most transactions would now use TCP. the result would never work
outside anyone's lab, but would have been standardized anyway, several
times over a twenty year span, by the end of which the world would have
moved on to less open standards that could deliver usable functionality
in fractional-year time frames.
