Mind, I think that unbound's approach is sane and I'm happy it is

I think if an application wants to _rely_ on DNSSEC, then it should
be setting the DO bit and the CD bit, and doing its own validation.

In the general case I would agree. There might be specific cases where this doesn't make sense - for example, if you have an MTA with a local caching resolver, accessed over 127.0.0.1, trusting AD is reasonable.
