Comment:

 This probably make the most sense to tackle as part of a larger effort to
 support real DNS requests over Tor.  Right now, even if Tor servers could
 receive a record larger than a UDP packet will support, it wouldn't be
 enough, since there would be no specified way in the Tor lookup protocol
 to send it back to a client.

 So for starters, we're going to need a "get dns right in tor" proposal.
 That'll probably want a ticket of its own, unless we already have one
