bind makes RRSIG disappear?

Evan,
Thanks for outlining this - it's much clearer now.

Not that I would need it, but doesn't this prevent someone from
dynamically updating (including signatures) a signed zone?

I'd see this as a symptom: I would really prefer if this kind of magic
only kicked in if explicitly enabled. Or, if that's not possibly for
usability reason, have a config switch like "don't touch my data - ever".
Best,
