No, I am not actually authorised to speak on behalf of foreign governments :-)
(if only ...)

I was actually trying to ensure that the statement in my description
for our local staff trial

  http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/cet1/dnssec-staff-test.html

that "Both of these" (i.e. including dlv.isc.org) "now contain all the 
TLDs in the IANA's Interim Trust Anchor Repository" was still true, given
that ISC personnel had previously indicated on various mailing lists that
they were now merging the ITAR into dlv.isc.org (semi-)automatically.

Which I don't see why they shouldn't, given the terms of use of the ITAR.
Operational issues aside, of course ... :-(
