[dns-operations] any registries require DNSKEY not DS?

Thanks for all the interesting replies!

The reason for the question is to do with child-side tools for updating
delegations. RFC 7344 CDS/CDNSKEY records are brilliant for this because
they provide a standard interface between key management / signing
software and registr* API client software: the registr* client can
just [*] look at a zone file to work out what the delegation should be.
And clearly a generic "gimme the secure delegation" function needs to have
both DS and DNSKEY modes.

[*] modulo caveats about glue records

Tony.
