No.  But I run with "reject anything that doesn't validate" and
have for several years now and that doesn't suck.  We will never
be in a world where all DNS records validate unless we do DNSng and
that DNSng requires that all answers be signed.

Except as a academic exercise, I would never expect anyone would
configure a validator to require that all answers validate as secure.

DNSSEC gives you "provable secure", "provable insecure" and "bogus".
