That said the "MUST NOT" validate algorithms from that table have the
following frequencies in the wild based on my (unavoidably incomplete)
survey of ~10.8 million signed domains:

    dane=> select count(distinct qname), alg from ds where alg in (1,3,6) group by 2 order by 1 desc;
     count | alg
    -------+-----
       288 |   1
       234 |   3
        40 |   6

So the scope of the problem is admittedly rather modest, affecting fewer
than 600 of the ~10.8 million domains.
