Re: [ietf-smtp] DANE without DNSSEC (was: certificate pinning)

Of course, my point is that clearly DANE is better than nothing and DNSSEC
makes it better.  I don't see what leaving out DNSSEC adds holes that don't
already exist worse without DANE.

I was hoping there was something I was missing in my analysis that
explained it.

Right, I wasn't sure exactly why DANE requires DNSSEC.

The aim is to improve security. There's no point adding complexity if it
doesn't achieve anything.

Biscay: Northeast 5 or 6. Slight or moderate. Fair. Good.
