We're going in circles here.

IF you have a validating stub resolver AND it gets all of its data from 
the local cache AND even so it doesn't believe the cache's AD flag AND you 
have some locally served zones AND none of those zones are a TLD you 
picked yourself before .INTERNAL was reserved AND even though you're 
sophisticated enough to do stub resolution you don't configure local trust 
anchors THEN yes, the opt-outs are helpful.

On the other hand, if you think that's a rather narrow scenario and most 
systems aren't quite like that, not so much.

Like I said, I don't see us coming to agreement any time soon.
