If the primary server is allowed to transmit two versions of the zone -- one 
with covert RRs and one without -- then it only makes sense to omit covert RRs 
from the digest.  It would be unfortunate, but necessary.

Actually I think the last paragraph of 2.2 would be better with only this:

   If the primary server receives a zone transfer request for a zone with
   Covert RRs, but without the COVERT-OK option, it MUST NOT transfer the zone.

That is, don't allow AXFR of a zone with Covert RRs to an unaware secondary.  
Then leaks are much less likely and you can include the covert RRs in the zone 
digest.  You would need to specify what the server should do in this case.  
REFUSED I guess.
