I'd draw your attention to:

* the name of the protocol: DoX

* the name of the request: IQ-get

* lastly, the current date

edit: OK, this might not be a joke after all, but it sure has a few hints in there.

DoX is DNS-over-XMPP

DoH is DNS-over-HTTP

DoT is DNS-over-TLS

Yah, naming a DNS protocol DOX and then releasing it on the worst day of the year on the internet might not have been a great idea… I suppose we should have seen this coming :)
date of the XEP is 2019-03-29, so no april fools day XEP.
> * the name of the request: IQ-get

IQ is the usual abbreviation for info/query elements in XMPP ...

>* lastly, the current date

Have you read it completely?
