But looking back at incidents such as the Zonelabs/Abovenet issue,
your advice is correct for the network we have today.

as that rfc is over a decade old, i am not optimistic that change is
neigh <sigh>.

DNSSEC obscures quite a few failures which can hit secondaries.  I
think it changes the cost/benefit ratio of additional name service
somewhat.  Without DNSSEC, it's just another party who can redirect
your traffic to Elbonia, so I understand if folks are quite
conservative about it.
