Idea for a researcher with some time and budget: try to find out how
many CA use a validating DNS resolver (my guess is:
zero). Methodology: register a domain with broken DNSSEC (like
servfail.nl) and try to get a certificate for it.

Note that as long as one CA does not validate, DNSSEC is not a
sufficient defense, you need DANE as well (otherwise the attacker will
go to another CA).
