I think Olafur's point is a good one, but I'm unhappy with the prose.
Some suggested changes below.

There are to mechanisms to provide authenticated proof of
non-existence in DNSSEC: a clear text one and an obfuscated-data one.
Each mechanism includes a list of all the RRTYPEs present at the
name.  Each mechanism includes only the name for which the zone is
authoritative (that is, glue in the zone is omitted).

The clear text mechanism is implemented using a sorted linked list of
names in the zone.  The obfuscated-data mechanism first hashes the
names using a one-way hash function, and then sorts the resulting
(hashed) strings.

I didn't know how to rephrase that, because if I understand it I think
what I understand is wrong (but that's obviously not the case, so
probably I don't understand it).
