Jakob's right.  If I understand question correctly, you always need two KSK
RRSIGs to be able to simultaneously validate with either TA.  I learned that
when I was testing ksrsigner.c for key rolls. -Rick

30-day hold-down time, either key could be used to sign zones in the root.

No, both keys needs to sign the ZSK that signs the DS records in the root
zone. And that invalidates the rest of your (otherwise interesting)
proposal. Sorry :-/
