It still needs a bit of work.  For example, when a domain is only
partly protected (some MX hosts don't have TLSA records), you have
to scroll down a bunch to see that, the summary info does not show
this.

I would also recommend a cache (like dnsviz.net, and dane.sys4.de),
with revalidation only on user request.  Don't want to bang away
at the most popular sites.
