I've read the document carefully, and from my perspective, this is exactly what you need to make sure that a specific dnssec implementation put up to the requirements that are addressed, no matter the kind of organization. The audit framework must be able to cover all kinds of implementations, from registry and registrar down to a smaller entity. But doing an audit gives you the freedom to express when a requirement is applicable or not, imho that is.
