I keep thinking it might make sense to sign non-authoritative delegation

For instance, there isn't a flags field in RRSIG so you can't explicitly
mark an RRset as being non-authoritative.

This just makes the surveillance capitalists part of your mission critical
problem area, which isn't obviously an improvement.
