I fully understand that this was not a DNSCurve query.  My point was
that this "ability" of OpenDNS will go away if and when they choose a
technology that actually provides end-to-end validation of the DNS
query/response in question.

Why would OpenDNS adopt a technology that destroys their own business
model?  They argue against DNSSEC, yet they implement DNSCurve.

Interesting...

Anyway, this has gone far enough off-topic ("bind-users") that I'm going
to curtail my responses here.  Feel free to follow up with me directly
if you'd like.
