I picked up on this on the (non-IETF) DNSSEC-deployment
list (Subject "DNSSEC in Russia"), first message of thread
included below and archive available here:

<http://mail.shinkuro.com:8100/Lists/dnssec-deployment-archive/>

However, prior to that Dmitry Burkov mentioned it to me both
at the SIDR meeting - as well as at a DNS-related meeting prior
to that.

I saw a subsequent pointer here as well:

I'm hoping folks well versed in this will assert some
clue - hence my query to the list.
