Michael,

The prohibited statuses apply to client requests, which matches Case 2.  The 
prohibited statuses can apply to client requests via multiple channels (e.g., 
EPP or Web UI).  The prohibited statuses don't apply to server actions (e.g., 
auto renew, transitioning RGP statuses).  Use of CDS/CDNSKEY records to signal 
a server-side change is an interesting case, where does posting CDS/CDNSKEY 
records represent a client request that is processed by the server 
asynchronously?  I view the CDS/CDNSKEY as a new operation (e.g., DNSSEC 
automation update), supported by IETF RFCs, that does not apply to the existing 
EPP prohibited statuses.  All domain changes come down to an update, but EPP 
included prohibited statuses on a per operation / command basis.

I would then define Case 3, where CDS/CDNSKEY records represent is a new client 
operation that does not apply to the existing EPP prohibited statuses.  If we 
did want to prohibit this new operation via EPP, then a new prohibited status 
would be warranted.

I tend to agree. Changing the DNSSEC data here is not an operation requested/initiated by the client (i.e., registrar), but it's something the server (registry) does, because it got triggered via the DNS. For this reason the clientUpdateProhibited flag should be ignored.

The RFC states:
"Requests to update the object (other than to remove this status) MUST be rejected."

The question is then, is the server looking for CDS records in the DNS a request? I don't think it is. It is the server carrying out some maintenance work (e.g., key rollover), admittedly for the registrant (or rather the registrant's DNS provider). Nevertheless, it's the server's decision, when and if a found CDS records leads to an update of the domain's DNSSEC data.

Cheers,

Michael
