I'm just running tests on DoubleDNSKEY rollovers now. Sorry it's taken a
bit longer than I thought, we changed the timings on Friday. (The good news
is that we have managed to avoid the extra states for the key so far.)

The whole thing now looks like:

1) Pre-publish KSK so that it will enter the ready state before the
expected end-of-life of the previous key.

2) When it enters the ready state send the following to the log:

Mar  4 10:09:47 sion ods-enforcerd: INFO: Please swap the DS record in the
parent of zone sion for the following, #012;KSK DS record
(SHA1):#012sion.#0113600#011IN#011DS#01133936 7 1

Mar  4 10:09:47 sion ods-enforcerd: INFO: Once the new DS records are seen
in DNS please issue the ds-seen command for zone sion with the following
cka_ids, 48e00948d5b67116ee115df7414380e5

(The formatting is a little out; #012 == "\n" and #011 == "\t".)
This is where the "DS-SUBMIT" hook will go, when I write it.

QUESTION: Is logging with a priority of INFO a good idea? People might not
be looking for it.

3) When the "ods-ksmutil key ds-seen" command is sent, move the new key to
active, retire the old key and set its dead time (unless a --no-retire flag
is used).

QUESTION: What should we do differently when the ManualRollover flag is
set?

Rinse and repeat...

I need to test with standby keys and see what happens when we perform
unscheduled rollovers. Then DoubleDS should follow quite quickly.

Is this looking okay? It conforms (as far as I can tell) to the next draft
of the timing paper.
