[DNSOP] Re: Call for adoption: draft-huque-dnsop-multi-alg -rules-08 (Ends 2026-08-31)

This is fundamentally flawed. It assumes that EVERY validator in the world supports ALL of the algorithms a zone is signed with.

This is a “I want a pony” draft. It will not work for every validator.  Validator operators shouldn’t have to add NTAs, assuming that there implementation supports them, because people are to lazy to do due diligence when moving operators.
