Thanks John and Joe, does this text capture what you're suggesting?

4.1.  Verifying Multiple Digests

   If multiple digests are present in the zone, e.g., during an
   algorithm rollover, a match using any one of the recipient's
   supported Digest Type algorithms is sufficient to verify the zone.
