SM,
thanks for your heads-up toward write-up in an I-D!  ...

I'm considering ... but I need to focus my time available on
other work first, so other contributors are invited to step in.

You are welcome, of course, to take the lead!

Maybe other implementers of DNSSEC software components have more
questions, answers, and/or comments.

There's a salt of grain, however, in SM's remark:
"shouldn't be that difficult to get it published as a RFC"
might not apply because there's still the ban for detailed URIs
in RFCs, and I assume that the references given in my posting
are a valuable part that would be missed in an RFC.

So I'll observe upcoming feedback for some time and return
to the topic of deciding on an I-D in May.

I doubt the DNSEXT related IETF Tools pages will die with the WG;
like expired I-Ds, more likely some pages will be kept on the
graveyard of immortals at http://tools.ietf.org/wg/concluded/ ,
which links to the WG home pages with URIs as before (e.g., I just
discovered there are still full-fledged DNSIND and DNSSEC status
pages at  http://tools.ietf.org/wg/dnsind/
and       http://tools.ietf.org/wg/dnssec/ );
but admittedly, maintenance might become a serious problem.

Maybe DNSOP folks could provide a more permanent home in the IETF
for DNS implementation related resources, so maybe the DNSOP wiki
might be a candidate.

Best regards,
  Alfred.
