That seems to me overdesigned.  If you are able to compute a signature
for the whole zone, put a ZONEMD at the apex.  If you can't, don't.
It includes whatever's in the zone, including INCZONEMD if there
happen to be any.

If you are updating a signed zone with IXFR, either update the ZONEMD
if you are able to recompute a new signature for the zone including
any added or changed INCZONEMD, or delete it in the more likely case
that if you can't.  Why does it have to be more complicated than that?

R's,
John
