Yes, thank you for the clarification. Is your concern that this usage
would break
existing resolver implementations that support RFC8914 but do not
implement this
draft ?

My understanding is that a resolver implementing only RFC8914 would ignore the
EDE option if it appears in a query, as RFC 8914 does not define EDE for use
in requests. It should not introduce any backward compatibility issues.
