  * DNSSEC status determines the status of all heads evaluated.  Where
  * INSECURE is worse than SECURE, and BOGUS is worse than INSECURE.
  *
- * For each head, each trust anchor is tried.  Here the best DNSSEC status
- * determines the status of the head.
+ * For each head, the closest (most labels still a parent of the head's name)
+ * trust anchor is tried.  Without fitting trust anchors, DNSSEC_INDETERMINATE

  *
  * Security status for a head (with a specific trust anchor) is evaluated by
  * first finding a authenticated keyset from the parent chain_nodes, and then
