What does the team think? I have not a strong opinion about it, but
think Miek has a point.

But it would be nice to follow BIND's lead, because

a) one can use the RRSIG(NSEC3PARAM) from BIND in a zone created
   by opendnssec and vice versa (this may come in handy in an extreme
   failure case)
b) the outside world can not see your signer setup, by looking the
   TTL of the NSEC3PARAM

As the change is minimal, I would say: just apply Paul's patch.
