I disagree. DNSCurve has nothing to do with trust. It simply ensure the
system you are connected to is in fact the system that gives you the
answer. DNSCurve addresses the UDP issues without the need for a root or
any other third party enjoying any degree of trust.
Totally different from DNSSEC.

DNSSEC indeed violates the end to end principle. It's simply that

And it asks us to put our trust in the root a.k.a. ICANN. I don't think
governments world wide are going to put their trust and faith in ICANN.
The
U.S. Government is the only government that has been bamboozled into
adopting DNSSEC into .gov infrastructure.
I wonder how President Obama would feel about handing over the keys to
U.S.
Government infrastructure to a U.S. contractor. I'd have trouble
sleeping
at night if that was the case.
I've addressed this at length in my comments to the NTIA.

If the U.S. government wants DNSSEC today then it must nationalize the
roots. I don't even trust Vixie with the root. I remember when he
hijacked
the root with Postel. Or as they put it "we were only running an
experiment".
In any case the new infrastructure campaign demands U.S. government roots
be
set up to exclusively serve U.S. network infrastructure.

p.s. If you want to secure the DNS end to end - think DNSCurve - not
DNSSEC.

DNSCurve has exactly the same trust issues as DNSSEC does.
You are trusting the parent to give you a secure introduction
to the child. The introduction is just encoded differently.
