What is wanted is that there be a delegation in .arpa for home.arpa that isn't 
signed, so that DNSSEC validation will not fail when an answer is presented to 
the stub that is different than what's in the .arpa zone.   There is never a 
valid use case where a query actually goes to a server to which home.arpa is 
delegated from the authoritative servers for .arpa.   We just need for .arpa 
not to say something that contradicts what the locally-served zone says.

This is the same behavior that is necessary for e.g. 10.in-addr.arpa, in order 
that a local DNS service can provide answers within that zone without the 
actual from-the-root delegation authentically contradicting what that server is 
saying.

IOW, if you think that what is being requested here is different than what's 
needed for 10.in-addr.arpa, we've failed to communicate.   The issue is that we 
hadn't really thought about the secure denial of existence problem prior to the 
dot-home work.
