I reviewed the "DNSSEC Key Timing Considerations
draft-ietf-dnsop-dnssec-key-timing-03.txt" document rather extensively
with emphasis on verifying correctness of the rollover timelines. I
believe these are correct.

A remark:

4. Standby Keys, paragraph 6: "Finally, in the Double-DS method of
rolling a KSK, it is not a standby key that is present, it is a standby
DS record in the parent zone."

Saying this does not count as a 'standby key' is confusing in the
light that the term key is used rather loosely. Also this text
insinuates that it is somehow worse than having a "Double-Signature
standby key" but fails to mention why.

Another remark. I guess this is not up for debate at this point but it
really bothers me:

2.3: Table 1. I don't like the names at all. It is confusing and
inconsistent. KSK Double-Signature would in my opinion be better of
called Double-DNSKEY. ZSK Double-Signature means: "do everything at
once" whilst KSK Double-Signature means "do it staged". Similar to make
it make consistent I would either cal ZSK Pre-Publication Double-DNSKEY
or KSK Double-DS Pre-Publication. Perhaps:

+------------------+------------------+-----------------------------+
| ZSK Method       | KSK Method       | Description                 |
+------------------+------------------+-----------------------------+
| Double-DNSKEY    | -                | Publish the DNSKEY before   |
|                  |                  | the RRSIGs.                 |
| Double-RRSIG     | -                | Publish RRSIGs before the   |
|                  |                  | DNSKEY.                     |
| Double-ZSK       | -                | Publish the DNSKEY and      |
|                  |                  | RRSIGs at same time.        |
| -                | Double-DNSKEY    | Publish the DNSKEY before   |
|                  |                  | The DS.                     |
| -                | Double-DS        | Publish DS before the       |
|                  |                  | DNSKEY.                     |
| -                | Double-KSK       | Publish DNSKEY and DS in    |
|                  |                  | parallel.                   |
