Because I'm known as someone working for a TLD operator I will point out that 
my motivation in this space is primarily as a DNS "hoster".  Imagine, if you 
will, that I operate DNS zones in every TLD and many zones that are not 
"children" in the DNS sense of any TLD.  I stress "imagine" because I probably 
don't have a child zone in each and every TLD.  Maybe "a lot" or "quite a few", 
I don't know, and for the detail here, it doesn't matter.

I believe there is a gating factor here involving TLDs.  But not that this is 
acceptable to TLDs, rather that whatever is derived is compatible with all (and 
I mean *all*) TLDs environments.  TLDs might differ in their policies and that 
is their prerogative, their right, their duty.  I want to see something defined 
that is universal and can be used under any environment.  I don't want to build 
one-offs for TLDs.

Or one-offs for cases where there is no TLD involved.

What I want, as a DNS operator and producer of DS record data, is a standard 
way to marshall the DS "guts" from the child to the parent.  What I don't care 
so much about is how the parent comes around to get the guts of the DS from me. 
 I say "guts" to mean either the hashes or just the identifiers to what is in 
the DNSKEY set.  Note here that parent refers to a DNS zone that may or may not 
have any legal/business relationship with me (child zone operator) or my 
customer.

In napkin scribblings, I envision that a record - possibly CDS - is at the apex 
of the zone I operate.  In an ICANN-style shared registry model (which is often 
called RRR) I can see a registrar - for whatever reason - dig from my zone the 
"CDS" and then stuff the guts into an EPP message and send it off to the 
registry just as the registrar would today when a DS is pasted into a web form. 
 This is just a quick, one use-case illustration, given just to separate what I 
care about (the CDS-maybe record) and what I don't care about (why the 
registrar digs and how they stuff the EPP).  "Care" in the context of this 
specific proposal.  Of course I care about the end-to-end....;)....I'm just 
focusing here.

It's not registry buy-in, it's just that the proposed solution has gotta work 
with (all) registry arrangements.  Otherwise, the utility is greatly limited 
and we will still be talking about this in the future.
