There are no proxies defined for TLS at least in the IETF context. TLS
is an end-to-end protocol. What you call a proxy is performing a
man-in-the-middle attack on the protocol. It succeeds by inserting a
"proxy" certificate in the user's trusted CA list. In that context it
is good that DANE detects those attacks.

I suppose that such "proxies" would just insert their key as a DNSSEC root key.
