LoST avoids a golden root by establishing a kind of transitive trust model where an entity called a "Forest Guide" knows about other Forest Guides and their coverage region by some unspecified means and can refer a request for service in one of the known coverage regions to the proper Forest Guide.  Rather than having a root and a delegation model, it relies on Forest Guide operators working out who should be trusted among themselves.
