=> From my experience, "active parenting" is not a good practice.
Specifically in this case, you are assuming that the parent knows the
algorithms used for the DS record. He would have to in order to
validate. That might not always hold true. Additionally, the record is
not 'yours', it is just parked in your zone by the child. For the parent
to Tamper with either the NS or DS is IMHO not a good practice.
