Anyway, we have finally rev'ed the CDS draft, and have (I think) arrived at a 
compromise that will be acceptable to both views (DS vs DNSKEY).

The 50'000ft[0] view is that the record is now a selector and a data part.
If the selector is 0, the data is a DS record.
It if is not 0, the data is a DNSKEY, and the parent should calculate the DS 
from that.
(This is largely based upon ideas like that described above. )

This allows children to present DS to those parents who want DS, and DNSKEY to 
those who would prefer to calculate DS on their children's behalf.

I still strongly prefer CDS (and CDNSKEY) to keep the record formats
identical, making things a lot easier on implementors and humans editing
zone files. I see no strong reason to merge these two things into one
RRTYPE of CTA.
