[DNSOP] Re: New Internet-Drafts: DNS-anchored identity dis covery for autonomous agents (Groundmark)

There was an earlier draft submission from me on x402 service discovery 
- which I've circulated to some people in the x402 community (x402scan 
adopted it in their discovery spec) but I allowed that to expire because 
after that I started working on Intelligence-Over-DNS (IoDNS) which 
would have subsumed it.

That's what got the conversation going with Elliot - Groundmark has a 
similarly generalized scope at a different place in the chain.

Said differently, it became apparent to me that a draft spec for x402 
specifically was probably too narrow, as there will likely be similar 
mechanisms proposed that fulfill a similar function.

I never did submit IoDNS as a draft, but it's on the my github for 
discussion's sake

https://github.com/markjr/Intelligence-over-DNS (I also note that the 
reference URL is also incorrectly pointing at the easyDNS github in the 
spec, which we'll also fix in the next revision).
