Exactly what I keep telling people when they start to suggest that DNSSEC
or DANE or whatever will make CAs go out of business (I work for Comodo).

The cost of a competent PKI specialist is at least $250/hr (unless you have
them a very long time and negotiate a lower rate). And finding one will
cost you much more than that. A course on DNS/DNSSEC will cost $2000. Same
for PKI.

Buy a cert and you get free tech support from someone who does nothing but
walk people through installing certs all day.
