Speaking of which, Jim Gettys was trying to tell me yesterday that

That is wrong. DNSSEC validation affects a whole view - i.e. it is
effectively global.

Clients can request DNSSEC records or not, regardless of whether they do
any transaction security. Clients can do DNSSEC validation without any
private keys.

That's what I hoped, thanks.
