        I have a new key I want to introduce.  I add the DS to the
        parent zone at least the ttl(ds) before I start using that
        key in the zone.  After the DS has been published for ttl(ds)
        I can then replace the DNSKEY referred to by the old DS
        with that of the new DS and re-sign the DNSKEY RRset.  Once
        the ttl(dnskey) has expired I can remove the old DS from
        the parent zone.

        I wish to be able to do something similar with trust anchors.
        Publishing DS prevents me from doing so.
