I am attempting to rephrase my question. Correct me if I am wrong... I think
DNSKEY is for DNSSEC and not for TSIG. TSIG uses shared secret and it is
added to DNS configuration file (isn't stored in any record in database) .
dissimilar to a part of DNSSEC it is not public key cryptography. This means
that you cannot add the shared secret in DNSKEY for authentication. Security
problem... TSIG might use TKEY which is different than DNSKEY. 
Secondly, I guess addressing TSIG here does not really make sense as you are
not fully addressing security but you're planning to make the DNS update
more efficient. So, I suggest that you only think about  making the Update
more efficient and let other approaches like other RRs TSIG, cga-tsig secure
your approach.
