Okay, that's fair. You've won the semantic argument, I was wrong to argue that DANE doesn't add new "trust anchors".

The central point of your comment is still completely wrong though. DANE does _not_ add new trusted actors, and has no significant negative security impact.

"Trusted actor"? Seriously?

That's the term magila used in the comment you originally replied to near the start of this thread before you started the whole semantic debate about "trust anchors". Ultimately, trust is something you place in people and organizations, not inanimate cryptographic primitives.

Ah, you're right, fair enough; I read it as "trust anchor" (because that's the real term). Sorry for snarking.
