Draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns-15 notes that this is a contentious
issue.  (I also think it's a stupid idea, but I don't run the circus,
of course.)  But you're right: in that case, you probably can do
DNSSEC on it.  I'd be delighted to learn that there's a resolver out
there that knows how to do this.  Do you know of one?

Best,
