I believe that C++ should have a *fully functional *DNSSEC query
capability. Support for this would be optional, since I imagine some
operating systems would not include a DNS resolver / etc.

For example, I would like to be able to query for TXT records for
example.com. I should be able to do this using only the standard library,
without writing my own crypto code, etc. :)
This would make networking programming much easier, and cross platform.

Before we have a secure query mechanism, we should have sockets and regular
query mechanisms. We're not there yet.
