From Viktor:

"Great care must be taken (with Certificate usages other than
DANE-EE(3)) to ensure that the TLSA record matches a certificate
that is actually part of the server's chain and not just some random
unrelated certificate that happens to be present in the server
certificate message. Many implementors fail to check this."

While true, I'm inclined to say that the DANE certificate verification details should be discussed (and are already are discussed) elsewhere, like the DANE OPS doc (in IESG review) that Viktor is an author of. If needed, we could add a pointer to that document.
