I would rather see DNSSEC and TLS/HTTPS get implemented end to end.

how does tls/https help here? if you get sent to the 'wrong host'
whether or not it does https/tls is irrelevant, no? (save the case of
chrome and domain pinning)

Well, actually, Chrome-like domain pinning and/or using DNSSEC to verify the
provenance of an SSL cert is the whiole reason Jimmy probably wants DNSSEC and
TLS...Unless you do that sort of stuff, there's no way to *tell* if you ended
up at the wrong host...
