        Has anyone on this list ever typed in a DNSKEY or DS as a
        trust anchor?  I would presume that most (99.9999%) people
        would just cut-and-paste or the equivalent.  I call "ease
        of typing" a unjustifiable justification as no one will be
        doing it even for DS records.

        I will agree that DNSKEY's are harder to compare, but I
        believe impossible trumps harder and it is impossible to
        convert a DS to a DNSKEY prior to the publication of the
        DNSKEY in the DNS.  The reverse is not true.
