Klaus,

Yes, the gaining registrar could delete and reset the DS or Key Data after
the transfer, but if the interface was consistent for the registry no
update would be required of the DNSSEC data after transfer.  Supporting a
mix of server-generated DS with the Key Data Interface as well as client
specified DS with the DS Data Interface across domain names or within
domain names of a single registry will add undue complexity for the client
and the server.  I believe if there is support for "thin" (DS Data
Interface) and "fat" (Key Data Interface) DNSSEC models in the protocol
that a server should choose just one model / interface.  Requiring the
"thin" model in the protocol would result in registries that want to
support the "fat" DNSSEC model to create custom extensions that would not
be beneficial to anyone.
