- Two new keywords have been added to the

- <command>initial-ds</command> and <command>static-ds</command>.
- These allow the use of trust anchors in DS format instead of
- DNSKEY format. DS format allows trust anchors to be configured
- for keys that have not yet been published; this is the format
- used by IANA when announcing future root keys.
