Olaf,

I don't see something in the issue list about operational practices when 
transferring a zone between DNS operators.
I would like to have this taken up in this document.


To elaborate a bit:
What is the BCP when transferring a domain between registrars/dns-operators is 
something we are facing as a registry.
The situation occurs where an old dns-operator does not want to expose his 
private key to a new operator or even the registrant, and let's be honest, a 
registrant normally does not even understand DNS, let alone DNSSEC.
One of the solutions could be to temporary have 2 DS records at the parent, to 
accommodate data from the old registrar/dns-operator that is still present in 
caches, and remove the old DS record after some time when all the caches are 
updated. This will need a careful design of TTL's and expiration timers that 
should be mandated by the registry to their registrars so a registrant has a 
way to transfer domains between registrars without becoming insecure.
For us as a registry this is a major operational issue because we guarantee 
there is no registrar lock-in for any registrant when choosing it's registrar.
