Because SOA does not now normally appear in the Additional section, and because 
the Additional section does not normally have RRSIGs. Proposing a new EDNS0 
option causes much less epistemological grief than extending the semantics of 
the Additional section.

Having said that, I believe that a possible 
draft-ietf-dnsop-additional-section-as-kitchen-sink is actually a good idea. If 
the WG like it, "SOA of this response" and "signed SOA of this response" would 
certainly fit there.
