DNSSEC basically has the same properties as the "race to the bottom certifying authorities" model, except it's a "race to the bottom of the DNS registraries" --- and some cases, the same company runs both a CA and a DNS registry. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss".... So if you're willing to disclaim the amount of trust that the CA system purports to provide, it's really a question of "IPSEC" vs "TLS" --- i.e., at which layer of the stack you are applying the protection.
