Yeah, have a tag similar to <NoBackup />
The reason to have a negative tag is because you want to opt-in the security features.

Is this tag then for

<Policy><Keys>

Or

<Policy>

No problem of prepublishing the key, since the key is not in use. If the key is lost then you will not break anything. The only thing is that it would take somewhat longer to roll the current key after it has been restored, since you have no prepublished key in the backup. But that is not an issue.
