Why should salt be pointless?  Can you hint/link?
Quick link to original motivation: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5155#appendix-C.1

(Though it seems relatively weak to me... nowadays I can't really imagine practical dictionaries for DNS names that would be "too expensive" to rehash whenever resigning happens.)


I find the shared "salt" value somewhat "amusing"

Whole FQDNs are hashed, so sharing salt among different zones seems safe to me, though I must admit I have no idea why anyone might want to do it.  Though if salt is pointless overall...
