I think it is not necessary. We have tools called things like
"dnssec-signzone", not "dnssec-sign_authorative_rrset".
While the amended text is technically correct (which is the best type
if correct), it isn't IMO necessary. But, I don't really care any more
than the effort required to write this mail, so whatever...

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing

of pants.
