Both KSKs have been in place for over a year, and yet only one of the
two KSKs is matched by the DS RRset, while both sign the DNSKEY RRset.
The active ZSK needlessly also signs the DNSKEY RRset.  So it does not
quite look like that model.  All the nameservers are operated by Afilias.

While two ZSKs are published concurrently, and coexist for their ~1 year
lifetimes (rotated at slightly different times), only one of the two
signs the zone file across all the nameservers:
