The path is usualy even more complicated.
I've identified this stream of contractual relationships in a registration 
process:

registry-registrar-reseller-registrant-dns_operator

(some roles may be duplicated or absent, some market players may perform 2 or 
more roles at once, but this is their contractual relationship)

The question is whether we need to follow this administrative path.
Queries don't follow this administrative path.
DNSSEC validation doesn't follow this administrative path.

So why should DS_updates follow this administrative path ?

NS updates (technical information) -at this moment- only follow this 
administrative path because of a lack of a different secure channel.
If there was a secure channel between child and parent (like with DNSSEC), then 
none of the administrative channels would need to process NS updates or other 
technical updates.

The only thing where we still need the administrative channel is for:
- -administrative updates, ownership, contractual relations, everything not DNS.
- -Bootstrapping (the first NS and DS set sent to the registry)
- -Emergency error resolution

I believe that the administrative channel is not waiting to process NS, DS or 
other technical updates.
It does not bring them money, it costs them money, and there is a strict QOS to 
be met.
Some players in the administrative path (pure resellers, pure registrants) are 
not even capable or knowledgeable enough to process this technical information.
There is in fact more customers to be lost when you do it wrong, than can be 
gained by doing it right.
Automate it. Over DNS.
