Q&A:

@Tim Bouma "Sold!" He thought this was really great work and would help very much with adoption.

@Darrell O'Donnell asked what the penetration of DNSSEC is today. Jesse said that, he wasn't sure, but it thought it was on the order of 20%, and that larger DNS providers/registrars were working on initiatives to provide it automatically.
