Description
Support for RFC 6698 would be nice to have. It has some usage in email and XMPP.
This would require a way to validate certificates against some bytes retrieved securely from DNS (this retrieval would be out of scope). Usually those bytes are a hash of the certificate public key (SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure).

Research direction
Start by reading RFC 6698 and the issue's description of validating certificates against securely retrieved DNS bytes. Identify the certificate-validation entry points and decide how the out-of-scope DNS retrieval would supply the TLSA data. Done means the API and validation behavior support the RFC, with tests covering certificate public-key hashes.
