I think DNSSEC implementation needs to be made less scary for folk who 
are apprehensive, and broken down into two steps, where step 1 is most 
emphasized:

 * Enable DNSSEC on your resolvers. Does not require you to sign your
   zones. Does not require you to read up on what it takes to sign and
   maintain your zones. Does not require you to worry and test for the
   next 60 days whether DNSSEC will break your e-mail delivery, e.t.c.:

             dnssec-enable yes;
             dnssec-validation auto;

        Done! Two lines (BIND, in this case), and off you go.

 * Step 2 - take your time cluing up on getting your zone signed, and
   being part of the solution toward a more secure Internet. No
   pressure, at your pace.
