If ARIN will update/add NS records then they should update/ns DS records.  
THERE IS ZERO DIFFERENCE IN THE TRUST REQUIRED.  DNSSEC does not magically 
require that you need
to do more diligence before making a change.  If ARIN is willing to change NS 
records then
whatever requirements they have to permit that change is ALL they should need 
to permit DS
records to be changed.
