I read over the draft, and it seems complete.  However, I don't know if it
is implemented anywhere, nor has anyone I met plans on implementation.

Unless there is a case for doing secret key rollover in the DNS instead of
some previously known out-of-band method, it should be dropped.  Otherwise,
proceed as experimental due to cost versus benefit. I doubt most DNS
operators will have the need to do secret key exchanges over DNS.
