[dns-operations] .ORG is signed

I observed some odd effects while trying to validate .ORG zone entries,
which I eventually realised were due to the authoritative nameservers
returning SOA (and RRSIG for SOA, if present) RRs in the authority
section for NXDOMAIN and "NODATA" responses with a TTL of zero. That
is, they are disabling caching of negative responses.
This happens whether the DO bit is set in the request or not. Was it
happening before the zone was signed? It seems more than a little
unfriendly! (especially now it is expensive to validate them)
