I think providers need to implement all the functionality I sketched
above. The zone owner might act as provider (a) holding the KSK private
key; or they might outsource it.

The risk the Olafur mentioned of a KSK provider dropping imported DNSKEYs
from other providers is probably a matter for contracts and lawyers :-)
But it sort of illustrates the point that this functionality is really
useful for phased migration from one provider to another without going
insecure.
