As long as the KEY RR does not have the zone key flag bit set, it should be
alright.  However, the KEY will be signed by a RRSIG in the zone, which
would cause old (RFC2535) validators to consider it unsigned.

As for SIG(0) clients, if they don't now, that doesn't mean they won't
later, especially since that was the idea of SIG(0).
