It turns out that DNSSEC works fine with competing roots.  In DNSSEC
keying information for each TLD is propagated *upwards* into each
different root.

However, just as each root needs its own "hints" information to get
things started, it also needs its own root zone key information.

DNSSEC does not lock a TLD to any given set of root servers.
