I may be in favour of DNSSEC, but I admit that it's time for a v2 of the RFC that removes the stupid "encryption can't be done at the endpoint" restriction. In practice you can just turn on validation on many computers and gain its benefits, especially if used in the manner as described here where you can just block connections to unprotected hostnames to work around the most glaring issue, but the whole spec is written for a world we've moved beyond.

IPv6 doesn't have that problem, though.
