You probably noticed I swapped in the document and tackling issues one-by-one.

Rereading this particular issue it seems that the current text in version 02 ( 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc4641bis-02#section-5.3.1 ) is 
convoluting DNS signing algorithms with the NSEC3 digest-algorithm field. I am 
not quite sure what this section tries to accomplish except for the fact that 
NSEC3 support is signaled in the algorithm numbers, which I don't think is in 
scope at this particular place (section 5.3) in the document.

I think that talking about NSEC3 hash algorithm rolover is in scope (in section 
5.3) and modified the text to read:

   <t>
        At the moment of writing there is only one NSEC3 Hashing
        algorithm defined. <xref target="RFC5155"/> specifically calls
        out that when a new hash algorithm for use with NSEC3 is
        specified, a transition mechanism MUST also be
        defined. Therefore this document does not considder NSEC3 hash
        algorithm transition.

      </t>
