I don’t think we’re trying to require DNSSEC validation, so an unauthenticated 
query would be evidence.

I do draw your attention to RFC 6840, which clarifies some details, in 
particular section 4.4 explains the need to check that there’s a NS record 
served by the same servers that deny existence of a DS record.
