Indeed.
With the current trust policy, it seems to me that DLV is a bootstrap
mechanism intended to promote bottom-up pressure for DNSSEC
deployment, and to give people a chance to get to grips with things
like key rollover and zone signing.
It's a frog dressed up as a chicken which is being rolled out because
people are fed up waiting for an egg.
In that context, perhaps it doesn't need to scale very far.
