to reply to my own reply.

After some internal discussion here at labs, the following is also
possible:

1) get the DS via EPP from the child
2) parent retrieves the key via the DNS from the child
3) parent _transforms_ the key into a DS and compares that with
   the one from step 1

Step 3 falls under the category of *duh* :-)

So I guess my main argument for using DNSKEY is now void,
