I've got no objection to sig(0) but why won't it scale?  There is
a existing relationship so public key cyptography isn't needed.
Sig(0) would require the KEY record to be in the parent zone or to
be held by the registrar in a seperate database.  In the later case
you either need a database of KEY records or a database of TSIG
keys.  As far as I can tell there is no difference in the scaling
requirements.

Sig(0) might be marginally more secure as only one side holds
material than needs to be kept private.
