At least that's a solvable problem: perform DNSSEC validation (to
prevent actual attacks) and pretend to clients that you didn't do it (to
avoid relying on signatures which aren't policy-confiorming).  DNSSEC
supports that approach quite well for ordinary record types.  It's
different from the web, where https:// and http:// are not equivalent in
practice for many domains, and the schema is also visible to Javascript.

Thanks,
