[Opendnssec-develop] Support of APL in dnsruby

It's possible to implement. While we're on the subject, we should also 
implement the HIP RR (signer support required), and possibly some/all 
other Experimental RRs. Do we want to keep the signer and auditor in step 
with regard to the RR types they support?

bitmap?

The auditor should be able to note the type (which it didn't understand 
the RR for) as occurring at the name, and then expect that type to appear 
in the NSEC(3) bitmap, without understanding the RR itself. Of course, it 
would not be able to verify the RRSIG for the RRSet of the unsupported 
type - it would simply skip that check.

I could add this functionality if it was desired?

Thanks,


Alex.
