George,

It's hard for me to see how this would easily handle dynamic updates.

Here is a strawman, to try and understand the discussion.

If we imagine some datastream which is the result of an AXFR or HTTP
request.

  <cmd> | tr 'AZ' 'az'| sort -u | <checker>

this takes the stream, does LWSP replacement, and sorts the lines
alphabetically and generates eg SHA256

the tr phase is just for example. presumably a more complex set of rules
are required to DeMangLE the case conversion and punycode but the sense
is, that we have a deterministic state of any label in the zone and its
attributes as an encoding.

The sort phase generates a single understood (POSIX sort) order of
bytes. These can then be compared.

Why is this worse than eg an RR by RR comparison, walking the NSEC
chains? What I like about it, is that its applicable to being given the
data OOB. if you have what is a putative zone, then you can apply this
logic, and determine if the zone matches what is published elsewhere as
a canonical state of the zone.

The RR by RR and NSEC walk feels like a DNS experts approach. Not a
systems/generic approach.
