That language could probably use some clarification. I would interpret
"if .. none of the RRSIGs can be validated" as "if .. none of the RRSIGs
can be validated from _any_ of the authority servers". In practice, every
validating resolver I'm familiar with will retry other servers upon
signature
validation failure. Otherwise, we would have a very fragile system - an
adversary would just have to be able to intercept one path between resolver
and one of the authority servers for a zone to cause resolution failure.
