Thank you, great question.

The way I had envisioned this working was that the human operating the child 
would "know" because they interacted with the parent when bootstrapping the 
relationship, and had to enter either the DS or DNSKEY.
I'm also expecting that in general CDS / CDNSKEY records will be published by 
tools -- the human operating the child ("human child"?) could configure the 
tool to do do CDS or CDSNKEY -- by default I'd expect the tool to simply 
publish both, but some children might have religious^W valid[0] reasons for 
only wanting to publish one of the other.
I'm expecting the the *huge* majority of children will just publish both, and 
let their parents choose whichever one they want.

This text all appeared in the most recent draft, which was written in a bit of 
a rush (so I could chat with folk about it at the DNS-OARC meeting / I like 
rev'ing docs so that folk have something concrete to look at), I'll try make 
this clearer in the next rev…

[0]: For example, there are some children who want to publish two (or multiple) 
DS records in their parent, and keep one of the DNSKEYs hidden / private / 
secret. That way, if their key is compromised they can just start signing with 
the new DNSKEY.
