I read the document and it is quite good 
I think only Model #1 makes sense, i.e Zone apex  DNSKEY/CDNSKEY/CDS  RRset's are signed by zone publisher but rest signed by operator on the fly. 

The document covers the case that different providers use different signing algorithms BUT does not cover if they use different negative answer approaches, 
no good answer other than say NSEC with “lies”.
