I like this but there's an obvious question: if the recursive server has 
to know about ANAME anyway, have the it do the extra fetches, and all of 
the DNSSEC troubles go away.

Straw man, er, straw being:

name ANAME canonname servername rrtype1 rrtype2 ...

If the authoritative server gets a request for one of the rrtypes, it 
returns the ANAME.  (If it gets a request for a type that isn't in the 
ANAME and there isn't a real RR, it returns the usual NOERROR.)  The cache 
sees the ANAME and looks up the canonname from the server at servername 
(with "." as the servername default to look it up in the usual way.) 
Putting an actual rrtypeI at the same name as the ANAME is naughty, like 
putting it at the same name as a CNAME.
