"The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority -- which coordinates the internet -- has been prototyping a system to sign the root-zone file for the last year, but they can't do the same for the internet's top servers without approval from the Department of Commerce"

Sounds like some work that could be recycled (and save being wasted if it's decided to have Verisign do the dnssec instead)

Just to be clear, the stuff at https://ns.iana.org/dnssec/status.html will be used for more than the root, e.g., .ARPA, children of .ARPA, IANA.ORG, etc., regardless of who ends up signing the root. Regards, -drc
