FWIW, I concur with Ryan that CAA is not designed to be used
by relying parties (clients). And as it happens we didn't specifically
cover CAA (or even mention it) in the strews report - the IETF
bits of that aren't intended to be comprehensive but more to
indicate the kinds of things being worked on in the IETF that
affect web security. (The report is already too long already:-)

The point you make that we didn't really address the registrar
information (WHOIS etc) is reasonable though, if we were
going to modify it, (not sure if we will) I'd add some text on
that (and also on the privacy issues that are related).

Cheers,
S.
