It wouldn't necessarily be harmful to be able to update those other
things automatically, too. Things like master servers and NOTIFY
targets perhaps change less frequently or predictably than a ZSK, but
in times of emergency all could benefit from a well-designed,
automated and secure mechanism to handle changes.

TSIG secrets are rarely rolled in practice, in my experience, and
being able to improve upon that also seems useful.

I still wonder whether what you're proposing really only solves one of
a wider set of problems, and whether doing it in the DNS really makes
sense. Perhaps a standardised, out-of-band provisioning protocol would
be better.

We might have a need to exchange some other kind of metadata between
authoritative servers for a zone in the future, eg relating to secure
transports or privacy. The idea of being able to provide a general
solution to solve future such problems seems attractive.

None of this is commentary directly about your draft, of course.
