Is there any  reason NOT to prepend the private alg. name to the DS
hash?

I concur with Rob: this adds unnecessary ugliness to the DS RR, and is
likely a backwards-incompatible change.  I don't want to have to dust
off 3755 and wait for IANA again.


Backwards-incompatible with what?

Was the fact that the DS wasn't mentioned in the private algorithm
appendix ON PURPOSE?

Concur with Scott and Rob: there was no particular consideration given
to private algorithms.  If there had been, I still doubt we would have
changed anything.


The text of protocol-09 section 5.2 does not support this postion.
