The reason we did not, was that we did not mean to have anything
"special" on either the presentation or the wire format, so there
was no need to specify a wire format. When Mathijs noticed it was
different, we added his disclaimer that the presentation format (and
thus wireformat) was different. Once we added the additional zeros,
we were no longer using a different format, so we removed that
disclaimer again. We thought we no longer asked something non-standard.

Yes that seems best. In fact, it could ignore the entire digest field
content when algorithm 0 is found.

And the cross this with another giant ietf-thread, that is a correct
application of the Postel Principle :P
