Thanks for the review.

Ok, the missing part of the up-front description is that each provider has
to import the zone signing (public) keys of the other provider(s) into its
DNSKEY RRset. I can add this and elaborate some more.

By the way, I would not characterize this as a "trick", but rather a fairly
obvious key provisioning step that is needed to make the multi-provider
signing configuration work.

But I agree that this might not obvious to everyone if they haven't thought
through the details. Actually, I added the resolver behavior section, after
I needed to explain more clearly how this worked to a colleague.

Shumon.
