DNSSEC declares out of scope:

Is that actually out of scope or just not specified yet?

The whole channel from end-user (registrant) to registry cannot usefully be 
specified in any general way because there is no consistent way of interacting 
with a registrar (in the name of open competition) and no consistent 
registry-registrar-registrant structure across all TLDs (for reasons that 
surely would require more than one parenthetical phrase to describe adequately).

The component that concerns communication between a registry and a registrar 
does have one solution that has been standardised in the IETF, however, which 
is being implemented at some TLDs, I hear.
