Thanks for pointing this out. Since the transition from SHA-1 to other hash algorithm is going to be a big issue some time in the future, perhaps it should be made more manifest that this draft assigns the RFC4034-allocated DNSSEC Algorithm Type value 4 to ECC **with SHA-1**.

Are there other variations in ECC signature algorithms that are fixed by the draft and should be made more manifest? Someone pointed out that the draft was only "about storing keys". Does it completely specify ECC signatures? I think other DNSSEC Algorithm Type values do fully specify the respective signature algorithms.

Regards,
