There should be an option for "validate but still return invalid data, just reflect validity in the AD bit". Is there?

That way most things will still work even DNSSEC is broken, and apps with higher security requirements can opt-in to "fail if invalid", by passing setting the AD bit on queries, and checking if it is still there on responses.

I believe that is DNSSEC=allow-downgrade which is also the default.

I thought “allow-downgrade” meant it would return unsigned data, but not invalidly signed data? I was talking about the latter case not the former.

You could be right. I guess the documentation isn't terribly clear...
