That makes good sense. When someone defines an incremental zone hash RRtype, 
that protocol spec should likely either prohibit ZONEMD RRsets, or state that 
their interpretation is suppressed. The WG can cross that bridge when we see a 
reasonably filled-out proposal for INCZOEMD.

Fully agree.

Using a different RRtype would be significantly easier and safer due to 
applications having clearly separate code paths.
