Hi dnsop, Yorgos, Willem, Roy,
I really like this idea of dry-run DNSSEC. I think it could really help 
new DNSSEC adopters.

The evidently weird thing of the proposal is the displacement of DS 
digest field into the first byte of DS hash field, in order to free up 
space for dry-run signalling. This will cause difficulties in human 
readability of resulting DS. The obvious counter-proposal would be to 
simply take the most-significant bit of the DS digest field (set to 1 
for dry-run), which would take 128 of available DS digest numbers 
(instead of just one), but wouldn't otherwise introduce any 
inconsistencies in DS format. As only four are taken so far, it seems 
viable to me.

Should we (dnsop) discuss this specific matter, or even poll?

Thanks,
Libor
