 In your previous mail you wrote:

=> Unbound is correct: it is allowed. BTW it can lead to unexpected
result because of RFC 4035 section 2.2 which mandates:

   There MUST be an RRSIG for each RRset using at least one DNSKEY of
   each algorithm in the zone apex DNSKEY RRset.

so in your example the zone will be signed using both algorithms 7 and 8
despite the key for algorithm 8 has the KSK flag.
