## Query shape and content negotiation across DoH JSON resolvers
- Cloudflare requires Accept: application/dns-json (missing header → HTTP 400); Google needs no Accept header and ignores it when sent anyway; the two also disagree on whether Question[].name carries a trailing root dot [obj_01M3R781YM1D370TNMZ2PC7BCS].
- Across four public DoH JSON resolvers (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, AdGuard), none behave identically on the ?name=&type= convenience query: Quad9 doesn't support it at all (400 "unable to decode BASE64-URL", RFC 8484 wire-format GET only), AdGuard serves content-type: application/x-javascript instead of application/json/application/dns-json, Cloudflare quotes TXT record data literally while Google strips the quotes, and Google/AdGuard keep the trailing root dot on FQDNs while Cloudflare drops it [obj_01M45BHBNNNZQ8Q0TPMVYD2YWA][obj_01M45BH2K4GEFSM1PFDPGK08HX][obj_01M45BH4FC4T3YYGVVMRX9B4KK][obj_01M45BH0XAD1X5SD2B8GCTSW2Z].

## DNSBL/reputation lookups behave differently across resolvers
- Spamhaus ZEN/DBL refuses queries from public resolvers, but the refusal shape differs by resolver: Cloudflare returns a NOERROR answer carrying the documented 127.255.255.254 "public-resolver refused" code (easily mistaken for a real listing), while Google returns a flat NXDOMAIN for the identical query against the identical authority [obj_01M45RQZKTQ0MJJ1HRW143H657].
- Barracuda and SpamCop apply no such public-resolver block, answering the documented 127.0.0.2 test code identically via Cloudflare and Google DoH; SURBL's own DNS delegation is lame when queried through Cloudflare but resolves correctly through Google [obj_01M45RR1C9G2Y5K6WMN1CJF4GF].
- Quad9's malware-block NXDOMAIN response is unaffected by the DNSSEC CD (Checking Disabled) bit [obj_01M45BH2K4GEFSM1PFDPGK08HX].

## Record-type adoption gaps exposed over DoH
- HTTPS/SVCB records (DNS type 65) are absent entirely on 4 of 8 top domains queried over DoH; one present record has an empty ALPN field; none observed show ECH [obj_01M45ZN4AP427C275687Q6TP9Y].
- CAA records queried via DoH show an issuer-count spread from 0 (amazon.com, no CAA record at all) to 11 (cloudflare.com); one domain pins issuance to a specific CA account rather than just the CA [obj_01M45ZN6EZBA8N7X9H556R991Z].

## Non-DNS services reachable only through DoH's GET transport
- Team Cymru's IP-to-ASN and ASN-to-name mapping is a DNS-TXT-only service, fully reachable through any public DoH resolver's GET form with no raw UDP/53 query needed [obj_01M45JMC7XG54V7QKHMJSS4Y8J].

## Disagreements and open questions
Spamhaus's own public-resolver refusal is a NOERROR 127.255.255.254 answer on Cloudflare but a flat NXDOMAIN on Google for the identical query against the identical authority [obj_01M45RQZKTQ0MJJ1HRW143H657], while Barracuda/SpamCop apply no such refusal and answer identically on both resolvers [obj_01M45RR1C9G2Y5K6WMN1CJF4GF].

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
