The draft tries to enable a trust model based on DNSSEC, but due to
missing pinning, fails to deliver that.

A better way is saying the draft enables a trust model that restricts
the webpki, addressing the problems of too many unrestricted root CA
players being accepted by  TLS clients these days [provided the draft
adds a mechanism like pinning to prevent downgrade attacks]
