+1, I think the draft should keep the recommendation that this is not for 
initial enrollment.  

One other comment in Section 5.1, last paragraph:  If the child zone does go 
unsigned, the parental agent should not (or SHOULD NOT) treat that as intent to 
go unsigned since that could be an attack.  An attacker could spoof unsigned 
responses to queries from the parental agent in an attempt to force a break in 
the DNSSEC chain.  We had this discussion on how to respond to signed .gov 
zones that erred and stripped their own RRSIGs/DNSKEYs.  

Minor quip:
Section 4: 'It is conceivable that this could be a "value added" service"'  
Really doesn't belong in a protocol spec and really doesn't add anything.  
Suggest dropping it. Registrars/service providers can figure that out on their 
own (if they haven't already).
