More comments:

Section 4.1.2 last paragraph:
"In this mechanism, there are periods where there are two DS
   RRs at the parent.  Since at the moment of writing the protocol for
   this interaction has not been developed, further discussion is out of
   scope for this document."

This is strange, as the Double DS rollover mechanism is used furtheron
in the document in section 4.1.3 figure 5. I think this text is a
leftover from a previous version. It is true that an automated rollover
with an in-band interaction has not been developped yet, but this text
seems to sugest that Double-DS has not been invented yet.
And if such interaction were developped, this should be discussed in
section 4.1.3 where Double-DS is defined, as this is what the
interaction is trying to automate.

When I take section 4.3.5 into considderation, I think that the
Double-DS mechanism is almost mandatory for a parent to implement,
otherwise you cannot accomodate secure child dns operator changes.
Since this mechanism can also be used for regular rollovers, as section
4.1.3 describes, I think Double-DS will be the default rollover
mechanism, and double signature only an alternative that will not be
deployed by all parents like registries that need to implement these
procedures. They will want to stick to one size fits all.

Sugestion: Remove the last paragraph of section 4.1.2 starting at "An
   alternative mechanism has been considered."
There's no use in discussing something that doen't excist yet.


section 4.1.3:
"A zone key rollover can be handled ...."
Please use the same syntax:
"A ZSK rollover can be handled..... "
It's less confusing.


Section 4.1.4 last paragraph:
"Since this
   leads to increase in zone and packet size at both child and parent
   there are little benefits to a Double-DS rollover with a Single Type
   signing scheme."
Same as above.
A Double-DS rollover is the only rollover mechanism you can use during a
secure dns operator change. Even with a Single Type signing scheme.
