I would like to make this as light-weight as possible. There are already
one or two levels of opt-in: uploading DS records to the RIPE database,
and publishing CDS records (tho the latter is completely automatic with
Knot DNS).

That makes sense.

Yes, and it addresses Anand's comment that RIPE does not normally update
users' objects. But I'm a bit worried that it might be too obscure. If it
can't be eliminated entirely, perhaps it can be addressed by hints in the
web user interface?

very rough in northeast Dogger. Fair. Good.
