Let's treat > the TAR the same. Assuming the root will be signed with NSEC instead of NSEC3/opt-out, an insecure delegation explicitly says there's no TA (which may or may not be true). This is a different issue from the TLD registry failing to update the DS(KSK), making the delegation go DNSSEC-lame. -Peter
