Two reasons make this technically correct, but untractable:

1. The person wanting to enforce this policy may be a sysadmin, rather than a 
developer.  He’d end up doing nasty things with firewalls and experience delay 
times.

2. I think the recursive resolver is the ultimate place to implement insisting 
on DNSSEC; using an overloaded bit to do it elsewhere somewhat scares me.

So I, ehm, insist, that this is a useful feature to add to Unbound ;-)

Thanks,
