NSEC is a singleton record.  Adding a new one indicates a implicit
deletion of any other NSEC record at that name.  This does not
indicate that all NSEC deletes can be removed from the IXFR stream,
when constructing a MIXFR stream, only those with a matching addition.

Adding a NSEC3 record causes a implicit deletion of the existing
NSEC3 with matching parameters.  This does not indicate that all
NSEC3 deletes can be remove from the IXFR stream, when constructing
a MIXFR stream, only those with a matching addition.
