Re: [DNSOP] FYI - Added note about ECDSA resolver issue in Sweden - Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-york-dnsop-deploying-dnssec-crypto-algs-02.txt

It is only my personal opinion, but I believe registrars are incorrect
in performing crypto alg checks on proffered DS, and this is an
entirely unwarranted, and incorrect understanding of their role. It
conflates one public good (checking) with another public good
(registry of data into the DNS) and assumes one out-ranks the other:
It doesn't, and the inability to track crypto alg change, makes the
checking wrong. Its the lesser of two evils to stop checking, and
permit unknown algorithms through.

I think this needs to be flagged up. Either they should be told to
stop, or the requirements for algorithm agility which their role
places on them should be made explicit.
