But this is absolutely crucial.   How do you know that you are on a trusted 
network?   The document doesn't say.   DHCP is supposed to be zero-touch.   If 
we have to set up a DHCP security association in order to be able to trust the 
DHCP server to tell us what the DNSSEC trust anchors are, why not skip that 
step and install the trust anchors?
