I read through 2181 section 5 and the only thing I see that seems
plausible to me as what you're talking about is 5.1: "A query for a
specific (or non-specific) label, class, and type, will always return
all records in the associated RRSet".

All you need to do here is hold your mind a little differently - think
of it as changing the RRset instead of returning only some of the
records from an unchanging RRset.

(a) I don't see how it could be, assuming the mental attitude mentioned
above (a small changing RRset instead of part of a large static RRset).

(b) So, don't sign such records. :-)
