I wasn't reacting to the newness of the API, but rather the dual approaches of 
(a) provide a new DNS API for applications, or (b) leave applications using the 
existing/archaic API for name resolution, and introduce an additional API that 
characterises the security characteristics of their use.

Amongst the problems with (b) is the lack of fine-grained (e.g. 
DNSSEC-specific) message passing to the application, so that it can react to 
the various failure modes in a manner that allows users to be informed and the 
application generally to make good choices.
