So it's fine if the delegation is secure (which is I presume what you mean by 
signed) but lame?

The document actually specifies quite clearly that the delegation "MUST NOT 
include a DS record" which seems to be different from what you are saying. It 
also specifies that the delegation "MUST point to one or more black hole 
servers", which is pretty vague language following a MUST.

I appreciate that the intention of homenet may well have been clear, but the 
text in section 7 is definitely not clear. I think actually it would have been 
reasonable for IANA to send it back as ambiguous before it got to the RFC 
Editor queue.
