I didn't mention it during my presentation about .com/.net, but
VeriSign is not implementing RFC 5011 semantics for KSK rolls in .com
and .net, nor will they be separately published anywhere--no web page,
no newspaper ads, etc.  There will be DS records in the root and trust
in .com/.net is the intended to start at the root.  If someone
configures those keys as trust anchors, well, that's unfortunate
because validation is going to fail at some point.

The ITAR is an IANA functions issue, so I cannot comment on it.
