I wonder actually why we're discussing CDS at all, and are not just sitting 
back and watch people deploy signed apex DS RRSets. (I understand why we're 
discussing the general approach. I just don't know why the approach is tied to 
a new RRType).

There's no protocol meaning at present for an apex DS RRSet, which means it 
ought to be harmless to add one. A parent (or the parent's agent) could decide 
to act upon the presence of a signed apex DS RRSet just as easily as it could 
with CDS. It might as well pick up the signed NS set while it's there.

By this thinking, a signed apex DS RRSet with the meaning discussed for CDS 
could be deployed today, with no need for code point assignment. What am I 
missing?
