[Unbound-users] suggestion for ldan-dane

I've chosen 3 0 1 because it is more specific then 3 1 1.  More material
is processed to asses the validity.  Though, I have to admit I use 3 1 1
myself as well because I'm lazy and don't want to roll over TLSA records
every time the certificate needs to update.

Is "3 1 1" mentioned somewhere in a BCP document somewhere?  If so, I'm
happy to alter the defaults right away.

Actually, I'm happy to change the defaults anyway unless someone is
against it...

We have a ldns-users list too (CC'ed).  I suggest we continue this topic
there (if needed).
