As a developer I have a question about revoke bits.

In a DNSKEY RRset that revokes A and also has keys B and C. Does A sign
(A+B+C) or does the signature from A only sign A?
In theory, only the signing of A is required, but don't care about the additional signing of B+C.
Signing more than simply A is nonsense, since the key is revoked.
And aids storing a presigned-self-revocation for emergency use.
However, that is not standard for RRset signatures.

Do signatures from B and C sign (A+B+C) or (B+C) ?
They have to sign (A+B+C)

BTW, be aware of key tag changing if you set the revoke bit.
