There's something rotten in the ITAR about TH. 

https://itar.iana.org/anchors/anchors.xml (serial 14) has it with 
algorithm="3" digesttype="1" and https://itar.iana.org/anchors/ agrees,
calling it "DSA/SHA-1". But this is rubbish: they are using algorithm 5
(RSA/SHA-1) like everyone else (GOV excepted). This is correctly described
in (DLV,th.dlv.isc.org) and (DS,th)@ns.iana.org.

Is any significant part of the DNSSEC world actually using DSA?
