Um, I'm probably missing something obvious here, but you cannot use CDS to 
enroll in DNSSEC. This means that you'll have to use the original out-of-band 
system -- what if we extend Wes's radio buttons to include ZSK / KSK[0]?

  Update the DS record when (pick one):
    [ ] Ever a properly signed CDS record exists
    [ ] Ever a properly signed CDS record exists and I click an OK button here
    [ ] Never.  I enjoy the ctrl-v experience.
 
 Require that this is signed with the KSK?
    [] Yes, I have separate process for my keys.
    [] Nope, they all live on the same filesystem. If someone gets one, they 
have the other.

Obviously the parent now has more state (and the child's logic is a little 
trickier), but...
