Re: Using/validating DANE certs?

IMO it's "fine" to give curl the ability to validate DNSSEC standalone, we should just make sure the user can use their trusted DNSSEC-enabled stub/recursive (if they have one) without having curl re-validate everything.
I expect this will be the mode used by most people anyhow.

The main issue with validating DNSSEC within curl would be the latency as we won't have a cache of already-validated records across invocations; otherwise I don't see anything wrong with having curl spin up its own trusted stub via e.g. unbound.
