That guidance, as it were, is in RFC 4641.

longer keys are useful for several
        reasons.

Please explain. Using keys longer than the actual security needs waste CPU cycles both for the signing zone and the recursive DNS, and also waste bandwidth.

Of course. If you have proposed text to help a zoen admin put a value on their zone that can be translated into signing key lengths, please post it.

    Note that if a trust anchor replacement is done incorrectly, the

manipulation of the TA/SEP nonces fundamentally changes the validators view of trust. one presumes that your assuming a single trust heirarchy and wiggling one piece to give a parallax view creates "bogus" data -from the perspective of one view of a trust heirarchy-.

        alternate trust heirarchies will emerge.

Fully agree; they already have. How does that affect the change that I proposed?
