You mean stub resolver? Because, on the vast majority of machines, the
normal resolver is certainly not "in the local host".

Both are possible and reasonable and I do not think it would be wise
to mandate one specific approach.

Management of trust anchors is certainly a big issue, computing
resources are not for the typical PC, which has so many unused
processing power that it must run 3D screensavers to use at least a
part of it.

The client and the recursive resolver are often in the same network
(for some definition of network, I did not say "in the same LAN") so
the security issues are less pressing than in the global Internet.
