Right, I just realized that... I was thinking of generation of all ZONEMD
RRs, but only returning a subset.
However, since ZONEMD RRs are DNSSEC-signed, the signature process requires
all the RRs to be included in the signature for the signature to validate.

Which means you always have to provide all of the ZONEMD records, if the
ZONEMD records are signed with the current DNSSEC method.

Hmmm... so at best it would be a one-way signal from the client to the
server, about what they support (and optionally prefer).
The server has to send all the ZONEMD records regardless.
