me too. if the first production use of dnssec had been the day .COM was 
signed, then deployment would be even less advanced today than it is.

sam weiler argued unsuccessfully that trust should not be required to follow 
the delegation path, and with a decade or more of perspective i can see that 
he was right. however, DLV as specified and implemented would not be the 
mechanism i'd propose if non-hierarchical trust had to scale. right now 
private distribution of static trust anchors is working as well as it has to.
