Should that draft include a solution, or will they figure out a solution
themselves?

If it requires a solution, then we are back to this thread with me trying
out some solutions.  Constructive suggestions welcome.

When people repeatedly say it won't work, in contradiction with my own
observations, without applicable details to show where a failure would
exist where my observations were incomplete, then they are not adding
to resolving this.

The only detailed answer I saw in this whole thread appeared to be
answering what I later found to be someone else's somewhat related
question (but they wanted to include A and/or AAAA records with the
CNAME record, and I don't).
