Oh, you're asking specifically for more detail than is on our
web page, then ('Registering your zone key in the DLV tree').
You mentioned that this would have relevance to future practices
should the root be signed, and I can't for the life of me see how.
I think this is an artificial problem that arises only for ISC since
we're out of the delegation loop (except where we can authenticate
registries and receive trust anchors from them).
Do you imagine that, if IANA/ICANN/USDOT/someone were told to
implement a policy to sign the root, that they would have trouble
identifying the owners of the TLD's reliably?
If so, wouldn't this problem already exist today in the information
already present in the root zone?
