We have so far chosen not to get into any nuts-and-bolts of DNSSEC 
checking, and this would send us far down that path. It is a big step, 
and we should consider it carefully. FWIW, I think we should take that 
step because we have gotten no support from the DNSEXT WG on last-mile 
DNSSEC, but I know others here don't agree.
