+/// The \c Query class represents a standard DNS query that encapsulates

+///
+/// Many of the design details for this class are still in flux.
+/// We'll revisit and update them as we add more functionality, for example:
+/// - zone_table parameter of the constructor.  This will eventually be
+///   replaced with a generic DataSrc object, or perhaps a notion of "view".
+/// - as a related point, we may have to pass the RR class of the query.
+///   in the initial implementation the RR class is an attribute of zone
+///   table and omitted.  It's not clear if this assumption holds with
+///   generic data sources.  On the other hand, it will help keep
+///   implementation simpler, and we might rather want to modify the design
+///   of the data source on this point.
+/// - return value of process().  rather than or in addition to setting the
+///   Rcode, we might use it as a return value of \c process().
+/// - we'll have to be able to specify whether DNSSEC is requested.
+///   It's an open question whether it should be in the constructor or via a
+///   separate attribute setter.
+/// - likewise, we'll eventually need to do per zone access control, for which
+///   we need querier's information such as its IP address.
+/// - zone_table (or DataSrc eventually) and response may better be parameters
+///   to process() instead of the constructor.
+///
+/// <b>Note:</b> The class name is intentionally the same as the one used in
+/// the datasrc library.  This is because the plan is to eventually merge
+/// the two classes.  We could give it a different name such as "AuthQuery"
+/// to avoid possible ambiguity, but it may sound redundant in that it's
+/// obvious that this class is for authoritative queries.
+/// Since the interfaces are very different for now and it's less
+/// likely to misuse one of the classes instead of the other
+/// accidentally, and since it's considered a temporary development state,
