First off, I think this draft is long overdue - thanks for publishing it.

I was thinking that there might be a need for passing on the settings of the
AD/CD bits, or a bit to indicate that the response was obtained through a
secure channel.  So three bits of the array in total:

x   AD bit set
x+1 CD bit set
x+2 response obtained through a secure channel

I don't know if every application may care about this, but I can imagine a
response array with the secure channel bit set, the AD bit set, indicating
it could be trusted, even if the resolver did not perform validation itself.
