The relationship to DTN is that this document describes how to get a certificate via ACME for a DTN Node ID, the unique addressing scheme defined by the DTN architecture. Specifically, this document allows the validation of a claim for a Node ID represented in the certificate as a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) of type otherName with a name form of BundleEID (defined by the DTN WG in Section 4.4.2.1 of draft-ietf-dtn-tcpclv4-28). BundleEID is a new PKIX OID defined specifically for DTN addresses. This new OID was not the original design but something that surfaced during AD review of this document and resulted in coordinated changes to both this document and draft-ietf-dtn-tcpclv4. While DTN is designed to be a flexible overlay onto many different types of networks assuming a convergence layer is defined, it is my understanding that the addressing scheme for the bundles would still be a DTN Node ID. I'm not aware of any other protocol that is using the DTN addressing scheme so this ACME extensions strikes me as quite purpose built for DTN.
