Description
I just claimed a DNS record. Then I noticed that it appears on my profile as a https link. But strictly speaking, a DNS record does not imply a web server — or any server — it just verifies the existence of a DNS record.
To verify a web page, the claim could be included e.g. as a <link rel="me"/> header or a given file.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how DNS claims become profile links, then define the distinction between DNS verification and web-page verification before deciding how the rel-me or file-based alternatives should be represented; done means DNS claims no longer imply an HTTPS web page and the chosen verification behavior is covered by tests.
