MUST NOT is advice on how to interoperate, not on how to write software

??? RFC 8624 is explicitly guidance to implementers not operators. The
"MUST NOT" means MUST NOT implement in a conforming implementation of
either signing or validation software. That's not an opinion. It's what the
text says.
The word "software" does not appear in RFC 8624. I think it is evident
from the text that the implementers are the people using DNS software and
signing the zones.
Ondřej and Paul wrote the RFC so perhaps they can tell us what they meant.
R's,

PS: I don't think there is much practical difference between the NOT
RECOMMENDED in 8624 and a draft that says MUST NOT to signers, so I would
also be perfectly happy to leave things as is and abandon the draft.
