+                  If set to <command>yes</command>, and if the DNSKEY RRset
+                  at the zone apex is deleted, all RRSIG and NSEC records
+                  will be removed from the zone as well.

+                  If the zone uses NSEC3, then it is also necessary to

+                  cause the removal of all corresponding NSEC3 records.
