I am aware that this is the dnsop wg discussion mailing list and not the DD 
(deleg wg) mailing list, so I encourage Peter to re-post his email to the deleg 
WG discussion mailing list.....

My motivation for bringing Peter's draft up at the microphone at this morning's 
deleg WG is as follows:

At a high level, DELEG seems to encompass attributes related to both transport 
(e.g., encrypted transports) and DNSSEC security (DS aliasing).

The DS record already indicates if a delegation is secured and, if so, provides 
a signed digest over the secure entry point of the delegated zone. In theory, 
the digest function could be as simple as an identity hash function (where 
pre-image equals the output). The result of this function would be the alias 
FQDN.

This alias FQDN serves as the secure entry point for to the delegated zone.

While I thought this was an original idea when I heard it during the DELEG 
discussions, it has been proposed by both Peter van dijk (see below) and Paul 
Wouters independently (I've seen a draft for it, named "ds uplifting", though 
not in the datatracker, alas), and have heard today in the hallway that others 
have suggested it as well.

This proposal allows validators to do the DS aliasing, and resolvers to do 
DELEG. A nice separation of functionality IMHO.
