I think this is a case that creates a problem for the _registrant_. If it was only a registry/registrar battle (as in most cases we discuss on this list ;-) ) I would not have spent so much time on this.

A registry that want to be "thick" can still receive the DS, then fetch the DNSKEY from DNS which they validate against the DS. If they want create a new DS they can do so with whatever digest algorithm they want and not even publish the DS that the client passes to them.

So the DS should be enough. Everything else is bonus. Or am I completely confused before enough coffee here in the morning?

Btw, I will be at the ICANN meeting in Costa Rica and do not mind talking with people about this.
