Who is we in this case? We as in protocol engineers and DNSSEC 
entusiasts will never be blamed... but "we" as in those who deploy the 
authoritative infrastructure and "we" who are perceived to do careful 
validation during key-exchanges might be blamed (or am I infected to 
much with US liability thinking?).

Should TLDs put disclaimers in their policies?

(I've tried to write up some policy/procedure text in the context of 
deploying DNSSEC at the RIPE NCC --something I have not
shared with my colleagues yet--- but I found myself writing a disclaimer 
and I am still doubting if it is needed... )
