I was trying to say that TLDs use NSEC3 because of Opt-Out. This seems to be 
true, based on the information Edward sent in the "Using NSEC3 for opt-out" 
thread.

The target audience for NSEC5 are people, who care about the zone enumeration. 
They could be using Minimally Covering NSEC Records or NSEC3 White Lies at the 
moment. Both of these mechanisms already require on-line signing and private 
zone signing keys on all authoritative servers. NSEC5 just removes the 
necessity to have keys on the servers.
