I was very excited at discovering this protocol thinking it could solve a few pain points of our domain onboarding process.

However the fact that you need to go to every domain provider to get your template manually approved makes this completely useless, what even is the point? This barely adds any security too since I can just use each provider's official API and create whatever records I want this way.

It's really sad because the protocol is designed for auto discovery but then does a 180 by having this manual step.

Both are run by really good guys that’ll answer any questions you’ve got.
