Huh? You can generate a DS from the DNSKEY record that you have generated but not yet published, so you can pre-publish the DS just as soon as you could pre-publish your DNSKEY. As for actually *using* the DS as a trust anchor, you can't use either the DS or the DNSKEY prior to actually publishing and *using* the DNSKEY. Or maybe I just don't understand your point.


        I can see no real reason to recommend that DS records be
        published in preference to DNSKEY records.

They are small and easier to eyeball as correct.


        DNSKEY -> DS is a conversion that can be at anytime.

        This make DNSKEY a better manditory record to publish.

I don't follow.
