It seems to me that underneath an optout-span, stuff is insecure, and
thus so must be the NXDOMAIN case we have here.  So I am inclined to
change unbound.  But I am also looking for guidance because of questions
about 5155.

Yes, but one of the Authors of RFC5155 has responded on this mailing
list, first we must talk about it before posting errata.
