A validating stub resolver would indeed query the root to create the chain of 
trust. That's the whole point of *validating* stub resolvers.

The IETF does not promote "edge router can intercept the query". :-) Further, 
even in that scenario, then there is no reason for an insecure delegation: no 
delegation works fine.

You may feel that way, but that's not the model adopted by the DNSSEC standards.
