RFE: DNS-based discovery via TXT records #141
Description
Following the discussion in #134, there is some consensus that a DNS-based discovery via TXT records is a useful add-on to the protocol and can provide an alternative to the Invitation flow.
However the idea is to keep it for a future 2.0 version of the protocol, as to make it useful it would need to be enforced, which is a breaking change with respect to the current 1.x implementations.
This issue is then to keep track of that decision.

I agree that it would be useful, not least because we would be able to make any email-address into a valid OCM-address no matter on what subdomain the OCM-server is deployed.

One might also think about some webfinger based mechanism as used by Mastodon? https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/webfinger/#mastodons-requirements-for-webfinger
