  I agree strongly with you on this - delegations belong to the child.

  What about DS? The problems identified at the workshop stem PRECISELY from
the problems with who is authoritative for the DS record. 

  A hack was proposed, whereby the DS record for example.com would be
actually named as _ds_example.com. This restores the principle that you
outline above. it would be very nice if we could come up with a solution
to the DS problem doesn't violate this principal.
