One of the regrets about DNS design is that we used NS above and below the zone 
cut.  That complicated DNSSEC.

We resisted the temptation to have KEY (later called DNSKEY) at both parent and 
child because of the issues.  NSEC, yes, sigh, it was a headache but we scaled 
that mountain.

So, "in the big book of boo-boos" (to quote Doc McStuffins), we should avoid 
having the same type appear above and below a cut.  It pays to have a separate 
name - even if that alone is the difference (in the presentation format ;)).

There are no answers - just tradeoffs, decisions, and responses.
