For what it's worth, I was planning to write this already for a few weeks but did not get around to it. It struck more of a nerve than I thought. I know the draft was earlier, but implementation really should have started after the draft was published.
Anyway, I now have a lunch appointment with Olaf Kolkman et al on Thursday to hopefully improve matters.
For what it's worth, the first KEY/SIG/NXT DNSSEC draft dates back to 1994(!)
