In article <CAAiTEH9=RNDrUmSOs8Rg2Ea4+as9pg=j5jnU6Y=nc8A4Z1aPog@mail.gmail.com> you write:

 ... by having the stub or cache treat localhost as a special case.

I use unbound as my cache which as far as I know has always done that.
Are there caches that don't?  Are there validating stubs that don't?

My reading of this draft is that if you don't treat localhost as a
special case already, it's time to get with the program.
