In that case, I would prefer not delivering the records.  This is different 
from everyday use of DNS.  However, for the applications I mentioned this could 
make good sense.

I can imagine having different resolvers in a network, or perhaps different 
views on one resolver, where the hardcore security apps receive NXDOMAIN or 
Bogus or something similar if DNSSEC is not present while your everyday silly 
app (browser, gopher, ping6) do receive their answers.  It is likely that the 
hardcore security apps would want to have a local Unbound instance running to 
avoid influence when the LAN is crossed.

Quite the opposite direction of where I’d like to move ;-

I *think* I am asking for something new — namely, to insist on presence of 
DNSSEC and proper validation on it.  In other words, to be able to neglect 
anything that is not properly signed.
