The design allows for ZSK rollovers at calendar quarter boundaries and
KSK rollovers in the middle of a quarter, which are intentionally
non-overlapping so that the are never more than three keys in the root
DNSKEY RRset.  (Please see the diagram on page five of
http://www.root-dnssec.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/draft-icann-dnssec-arch-v1dot2dot1.pdf,
which Tony already referred to.)

There will be a ZSK rollover at the end of Q1/start of Q2 and a KSK
rollover in the middle of Q2.  But because the signed root currently
being published has deliberately obscured key material, essentially
only the key IDs will change: the DNSKEY RDATA will contain the same
human-readable base64[*], padded to produce the same key ID as the
actual, non-published key.

So there will be periods between now and the anticipated completion of
deployment on July 1 when the root key set will contain two ZSKs and
one KSK, and one ZSK and two KSKs.

The KSK rollover in mid-Q2 will use RFC 5011 semantics, as will every
KSK rollover.  (But since the KSK is 2048 bits, I hope to not see a
rollover of the initial published KSK for a long time.)

That's a high-level architecture document and intentionally doesn't
cover every detail.  There is much more detail in the policy and
practice statements (one each for VeriSign and ICANN at
http://www.root-dnssec.org/documentation), including detail about
emergency key rollovers.  Is there something missing, in your opinion?
