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.

Implementation experience has uncovered some deficiencies in 4310.  A
proposal to address the deficiences is being developed as an individual
submission:
