"why should a DS record for www.cloudflare.com matter?!" - that was my exact question when I looked at the output from the DNSSEC Debugger.

Now I'm curious as to why www has NS records...

(DS records are used to tie DNSKEYs to a child zone from the parent zone).

It has NS records because that's how the owner of cloudflare.com (within the Cloudflare Dashboard) delegates control of www.cloudflare.com to another team.

Ah. That makes a lot of sense, thanks.
