quite frankly, I don't.  Since the registry is free(*) to decide to
support DNSSEC (or not) in the first place, there's probably other
things to worry about.

Because that's already the fact regardless of DNSSEC?  And if as a registrar
you'd like to be of help, just accept the key and compute the DS. Or ask both
the DS and the DNSKEY from the registrant (or their DNS operator).

The provisioning protocol should implement policy, not dictate it.
Otherwise you'd really end up with incompatible extensions.
