I seem to keep hammering this point - have clientside people been involved
yet? The vast majority of DNS lookups right now are A queries, and most of
those come from the browser.

So far the admirable enthousiasm for DNSSEC has come from specs writers but
before finalizing, it is absolutely vital to get the browser people
involved. DNSSEC is going nowhere if they aren't going to use it! And they
may not use it if DNSSEC is unable to offer semantics that their users are
going to be interested in.

Getting Mozilla involved ought to be easy.
