if DANE is totally dependent on DNSSEC being correctly implemented that
is a significant barrier.

In regards validating self signed certs in DANE how does the service and
also a user of a service that has implemented DNSSEC and DANE for a zone
distinguish if both the DNS delegation is signed and operating correctly
and the service self signed cert is authentic and can be "trusted"?
