I am not a lawyer, but I understand that some interpretations of public gTLD 
contracts would prohibit registries from exchanging registry data directly with 
registrants (registrants should deal with registrars). However, there's nothing 
to stop registrars making arrangements with their registrants to receive change 
requests via signed RRSets. It may that for gTLDs (and other TLDs in a similar 
sitaution), we don't need buy-in from lots of registries; we need buy in from a 
registrar.

The question of how likely it is that anybody will implement this is difficult 
to answer without time travel capability. However, if there's no standardised 
mechansm, I think chances are good that nobody will implement anything.

I don't understand the question. What does "lower the barrier to entry for 
standby keys" mean?
