The WG tried to explain this in Section 1.1, "DNSSEC as a Best Current 
Practice". The first paragraph says:
   The DNSSEC set of protocols is the best current practice for adding
   origin authentication of data in the DNS.  To date, no standards-
   track RFCs offer any other method for such origin authentication of
   data in the DNS.
The second paragraph deals with the issue that this is a best current practice 
that has not been adopted as widely as hoped, but is still well-deployed.
