This garbage triumphally marches across embedded world right now, so no smiley. Example: DNS over HTTP. Done because when HTTP is secured using TLS, it still allows for proxy servers to intercept in an already sanctioned way. If the technically minded were to speak against this setup, then a convincing argument is required. Specifically, the argument needs to present an alternative solution to be economically and politically more valuable than DNS-over-HTTP whilst also preserving the proxies' capabilities (economically and politically). In case you have a suggestion in favor of DNSSEC, say, please disseminate. There is a tricky bit, though. DNSSEC must look better on all accounts than buying DNS-over-HTTP appliances. Given some background noise generated by complaints about performance, speed might become an influential factor.
