Yes, it should be.  A few different proposals have been relying on that
already, for DS or DNSKEY.  It is possible that some validators still
have bugs around this, but hopefully they would be manageable.

For signers there's a possible caveat that a zone must be fully signed
by *all* the present DNSKEY algorithms, but my point of view is that
redefining that it relatively easy on deployment (as only zones wanting
the feature get affected).  See last paragraph of
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4035#section-2.2

So far I can't clearly see that direction of convergence, but I'll be
looking forward to such design proposals.
