I think validating stub resolvers need to go to the root in a namespace sense. They need to retrieve sufficient generations of parental data to be able to validate an RRSet attached to a child. This data might well be cached at a node in the resolver graph close to the stub. I don't think validating stub resolvers need to send queries to root servers. I think we are overloading the word "root" and the result is some mild confusion.
