Yep. Conceptually I agree with that. I also realized its inherent in RFC
8624 that it only makes sense if interpreted as guidance to those
developing the software and tools that implement DNSSEC signing and/or
validation. A DNS operator is only going to sign a specific zone with a
single algorithm except during an algorithm roll. And there's no choice of
algorithms when deploying a validating resolver. On any platform I've ever
encountered, for the most part turning DNSSEC validation on or off is a
binary choice. The algorithms that are or aren't supported are built into
the software.

With that noted, the three drafts are suitable for working group adoption.
I support the idea of expressing the table in RFC 8624 in the IANA registry
and outlining that future recommendation changes can be applied there in a
consolidated location. I do think that should be the sole focus of that
draft and the rest of the text and the table of initial recommendations
should reflect the current RFC 8624 text.

Then the discussion of the other two drafts can focus on whether the
recommendations in the current RFC 8624 table should be changed.

Thanks,

Scott
