There is an administrative choice, here.  One can delegate a zone or delegate a
private key.  The former is more simple, for on-going administrative, but it
leaves less control in the hands of the domain owner.
Just to be absolutely pedantic here, it's better to *enroll* the public key vs.
delegating a private key. That said, I agree with what Dave says here.
