Wasn't the idea to use the auditor in two modes?

One mode where it is called by the Signer Engine to check the zone before sending it out from the system. This depends if you have <Audit/> in the KASP.
If <Audit />: unsigned -> Signer Engine -> Auditor -> signed
If not <Audit />: unsigned -> Signer Engine -> signed

So that auditor can stop the zone distribution in this case.

The other case was an auditor daemon that runs regularly and checks the zones. It can only give warnings (to syslog or whatever), but not be able to stop the zone distribution.
