This is why I asked, a long time ago, for a "negative trust anchor." 
My context then was split dns[0] and the need to tell validators that 
internally a zone wasn't signed even if externally it was.

The request was a long time ago, maybe 5 years ago, and was forgetten.

[0] undefined in the IETF context; meaning any time a stub network 
uses different name resolution inside the stub network from the 
general public Internet.  Definitely applicable to RFC 1918 space 
(plus localhost reverse map).
