I second-guessed myself on the double negative in the previous message.   What I meant, and what I believe the document clearly says, is that there must be a delegation, and it must not be signed.   The point of this is to avoid either a secure denial of existence (the status quo) or a secure delegation.   Either of these would completely prevent home.arpa from working for a validating stub.

Can you point to the actual ambiguity?   The reason we said "one or more black hole servers" was to leave it up to the operator of .arpa to decide which black hole servers and how many of them.   That was a deliberate choice, not an omission.
