as with most things https, the protocol doesn't try to define a policy for
the client - though I think this could still use a little more
non-normative exploration of the possibilities..

the existing text just asks you to consider the scope of authority for the
server when considering poisoning attacks. (so a dns api server configured
for the role of recursive resolver is basically configured as trustworthy
for everything, but other roles have lesser scope..)
