How can you verify the signature without an Internet connection with which

If you have the zone key, you can do the verification offline.

How can you be expected to have the zone key of some random name that just
turned up on your network?

What's going to happen to your link-local uniqueness when someone adds
a bridge?

The same issue arises with new devices turning up on the network. Both
LLMNR and mDNS have mechanisms for dealing with uniqueness changes.
