actually, in this case, the terms KSK and ZSK would change from being
key types to being separate key properties, which can both be either
true or false for any given key.

technically this would be an implementation detail with about the same
features as the list of attributes matthijs just mailed

(btw, 4641bis will contain something along the lines of 'ZSKs sign all
zone data, except perhaps the DNSKEY rrset)
