Currently in the zone digest draft DNSSEC is not mandatory.  That is, the zone
needn't necessarily be signed and a receiver need not perform the validation if
they don't want to.

Even without DNSSEC the digest gives you a little protection from accidental 
corruption.  But not from malicious interference of course.

It seems kind of silly to me to double up on public key cryptosystems.  We 
already have keys attached to zones and software that generates and validates 
signatures.
