My suggestion is to focus on what is necessary for interop in the protocol and 
leave implementation decisions about the richness of local policy that can be 
configured to implementations. I don't think the RECOMMENDED paragraph is 
necessary (perhaps I'm missing something) and I think the final MAY paragraph 
is implicit and doesn't need to be spelled out. So my preference would be:

OLD:

4.1.  Verifying Multiple Digests

 If multiple digests are present in the zone, e.g., during an
 algorithm rollover, at least one of the recipient's supported Digest
 Type algorithms MUST verify the zone.

 It is RECOMMENDED that implementations maintain a (possibly
 configurable) list of supported Digest Type algorithms ranked from
 most to least preferred.  It is further RECOMMENDED that recipients
 use only their most preferred algorithm that is present in the zone
 for digest verification.

 As a matter of local policy, the recipient MAY require that all
 supported and present Digest Type algorithms verify the zone.

NEW:

4.1.  Verifying Multiple Digests

 If multiple digests are present in the zone, e.g., during an
 algorithm rollover, at least one of the recipient's supported Digest
 Type algorithms MUST verify the zone.

However, I don't think the two paragraphs I just casually removed do any harm, 
and I would not object if they were kept in.
