I agree with Alex that if we go with option 2 below, that SHOULD would
have to be changed to MUST to keep it consistent.

The problem with that is the scope of the requirement. Why would an authoritative name server implementation have to comply with RFC 5155 because it wants to use RSA/SHA-2(56)? (Assuming there is no requirement for RFC 5155 in the intended market for the server.)

I could see "Implementations of DNSSEC validators MUST" - provided we have defined what a "DNSSEC validator" is.
