I'm not that knowledgeable with DNSSEC, so I defer to your best 
judgement, but it sounds like you've done a good job, covered all the 
bases, documented this well, and I think the world needs a push 
towards DNSSEC, so I say go for it!  I agree that the exposure is 
limited right now since this will not be used as default local caching 
resolver.

You've gotten me all excited now so I'll have to go test this feature 
right away.
