    27 The DNS provides a standard, global, hierarchical namespace mapping human-readable labels to records of various forms. Using DNSSEC, the DNS provides cryptographic guarantees using a straightforward PKI which follows the hierarchical nature of the DNS, allowing for stateless and even offline validation of DNS records from a single trusted root.

    29-Further, because DNS queries are generally proxied through ISP-provided or other resolvers, DNS queries usually do not directly expose the queryer's IP address. Further, because of the prevalence of open resolvers, the simplicity of the protocol, and broad availability of DNS recursive resolver implementations, finding a proxy for DNS records is trivial.

    Per https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/214204/what-is-the-proper-way-to-say-queryer, it looks like there are many possible spellings:

    • queryer
    • querier
    • queryist
    • querist (the only variant that “passes” my browser spelling checker plugin, but I don’t particularly prefer it)
    • querant

    I’m fine with leaving the text as it is, unless others prefer to change it.

    @jonatack Querier is the most widely used and technically accurate term in the context of networking and protocols, including DNS. It frequently appears in official documentation, RFCs, and academic literature related to computer networks. It is also easy to read and clearly understood to mean “the one who issues a query.”

    Alternatives like queryer or queryist tend to look less natural and may raise doubts for readers. Querier is the most neutral, standard, and widely accepted form in technical writing.

    Thank you for your contribution. I’m not convinced this change is necessary, nor worth the time asked from reviewers, and it also adds notification noise for people who follow this repository. Closing for now; happy to re-open if the BIP author or longstanding reviewers to this project are in favor of the change.
