For example, it ensures that a website name typed into a browser delivers the intended server IP address.

Also, when I tried this tab for a .com and a .net domain name, a messge popped up to say "DNSSEC is not allowed for this domain extension" Why is that?

I believe GoDaddy is providing a way of passing the DS record up to the .ORG registry.  This means the registrant has to implement DNSSEC on his domain.  GoDaddy is not providing that capability, at least not yet.

Some other registrars, particularly NamesBeyond and Dyn, are also providing DNSSEC for the zones they host.

.ORG is signed and is accepting DS records.  .NET and .COM are not yet, which is why you're seeing the latter message.
