Exactly like DNSSEC. 

no. dnssec for a response only needs that response's delegation and
signing path to work, not "everything everywhere".

i hope not. if we had to start over on something that can protect the
cache against trivial pollution and also enable new applications like
DANE, we'd be ten years from first prototype instead of ten years from
ubiquity.
