Someone else has written the RFC draft - which see http://bit.ly/b5mFkV
Looks like Matthew Dempsky and OpenDNS have taken the lead here.

Now there is. OpenDNS support of DNScurve means over 20 billion DNS queries
per day. I think thats enough evidence to get cracking and write the code.

Were not seeing much of the same with DNSSEC.
Thats not the case with DNScurve. Again I stress - over 20 billion requests
per day at OpenDNS are DNScurve compatible.The traffic in DNSSEC is chicken
feed compared to DNScurve.
