No no no... You don't see how it would work *securely*.

We actually say:
"While it may be tempting, this SHOULD NOT be used for initial
enrollment of keys since there is no way to ensure that the initial
key is the correct one. If is used, strict rules for inclusion of keys
like hold down times, challenge data inclusion etc., ought to be used,
along with some kind of challenge mechanism. "

The thought behind this was that an unsigned child *could* start
publishing a CDS / CDSNKEY record. The child would then "securely,
through some out of band mechanism" (hand wave, hand wave) contact the
parent and they would agree that this is the correct key and the
parent would then manually include it. Please note that A: we say
don't do this, B: the hand-wave, and c: the fact that we are not
specifying how this should happen.
