As stated, from the 5.810.123 .nl domains, 3.027.173 domains are signed. From the statistics run today with our DNSSEC validation monitor, 2675 domains do not have a signed delegation and 3618 don't have a NSEC3 signed nxdomain answer.

Of course, but I can only report on the data I have.  I am not claiming
I have all the data.  As I acquire more data, my numbers get better.

The biggest "gap", for which I've not yet found a source to substantially
improve coverage is ".br" (coincidentally the TLD with the best record
of working DNSSEC, once we exclude those with fewer than 1000 DS RRsets,
where often 100% of the handful of signed domains are OK).

There are (according to recent .BR statistics) 1,044,645/3,959,979 signed/total
domains under .com.br et. al., but I've only found 283,908/1,589,657.  What's
interesting here is my observed 17.8% signed delegations is much lower than
the reported 26.3% overall percentage.  So my sample is noticeably biased away
from the signed domains.  Of the domains I've not found 32% are signed.  Perhaps
there's a large pool of signed parked domains that don't show up in any of my
sources.

I'm getting much better coverage with the other zones with many signed domains.
