  This sounds like a reasonable implementation choice.

  The current DNSSECbis drafts don't talk about using trusted DS RRs
  as a starting point, only trusted KEYs.  Given the last paragraph of
  section 2.4.1 of draft-ietf-dnsext-delegation-signer-13.txt, this
  looks like an oversight (probably mine, since I was probably the
  last person to work on the relevant text in the DNSSECbis drafts).

  So the DNSSECbis spec needs fixing, and I don't expect anybody to
  argue against the fix, but for process reasons it'd be best to post
  an explanation to namedroppers first, so I'll do that.

<hat dnsop-wg-co-chair=on dnssec-editors-team-member=off>

  Because of the above, at least part of this is a DNSEXT issue.
