I disagree.  You can still do DNSSEC validation with a local caching
resolver and configure that local resolver to forward all queries to
the ISP.  That should be tried first, and only bypassed and become a
full interative recursive querier bypassing the ISP resolvers if that
fails.  We need to respect the DNS caching infrastructure by default.
