There is a serial number which can be checked, and I guess we could publish
it independently, however you can use the inherent HTTP mechanism
(If-Modified-Since header) to check for updates and not get the actual file
if it hasn't updated. e.g. The '-N' flag with wget.

Perhaps, although I am hoping a signed root zone is not too far off...
