I believe this has been discussed between 04 and 06 versions of the
draft in this thread:

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dnsop/PsRIQOtd1bxFSEEm9lfv0WaHKeE

The result that made it to the RFC is that there should be indeed one
byte with value of 00 in the Digest/Public key field instead of no data
at all. This avoids the need of defining new format and updating all the
deployed software. It's not only about parsers of the wire format but
also about zone file parsers, that would need an update as the single
zero is not conformant with currently defined presentation format of
CDS/CDNSKEY RRs.

I believe changing RRdata format just for this one purpose would add an
unnecessary complexity.
