On: Show HN: DNS-based alternative to the web for structured data

[pastage]

In the same way you can already do that on DNS, and no browser support dns lookup in any sane way except dns over http.

So no.

I think DoH is an important development here – our "NUM Record Viewer" makes all queries over DoH but of course you need to load a web app to run the queries.

I'm hoping browsers will support custom DNS queries at some point. There was some talk of it being supported in Chromium a couple of years ago but it got shelved I think. Hopefully creative uses of the DNS like NUM will encourage them to consider it again.
