Got it, thanks - and this I-D is indeed useful to beat people over the head
with if they get it wrong.

I expect PowerDNS might extend the root-nx-trust to other domains, and we
might follow: 

"Another exception is that a validating resolver MAY decide to
 implement this behaviour only when the NXDOMAIN response has been
 validated with DNSSEC."

We can report from practice in any case that trusting the root to get it
right cuts down on root traffic a lot.

Thanks!
