Don't know what happened there. Here is the original message:

The discussion continued at our office.
RFC 4641 says the ZSK should sign all the RRsets.
For the sake of OpenDNSSEC, perhaps we should add an attribute to keys
called 'sign-what' or something, that can have the following values:

- sign nothing
- sign all
- sign all but keyset
- sign only keyset.

Makes sense?
