Trusted by whom? E.g., trusted like NIST now? (No disrespect of folks at NIST 
intended: just observing some may no longer view them as trustable)

I personally believe a better approach is to make the operation of the system 
extremely public and documented such that it doesn't matter who is involved 
since the risk would be too high that attempts at compromise would be observed. 
This is what ICANN tried to do with the root KSK (one can argue whether they 
succeeded).
