a bit in the parent (DS RRset) to say this delegation point is itself 
delegation-only would be more interesting. perhaps a way to assure compliance 
with a contract, thus preventing any ambiguity along the lines of 
"sitefinder".

but a bit in the apex (DNSKEY RRset) is still interesting, as a declaration of 
intent, which is easily monitored to find out if that intent changes, and to 
allow widespread alarms if that intent isn't lived. one can imagine breakins 
at the registry or registrar which would have the power to insert new children 
but not the power to change the apex DNSKEY.

a mature system would explicitly support this kind of live second-set-of-eyes.
