I cannot get the NSEC3 records through a BIND resolver if it is
version <= 9.5:

% dig +dnssec jhfgTCFGD564564.org

If BIND >= 9.6, it works (or with Unbound). Yes, NSEC3 support was
added in 9.6 but, for older BINDs, TYPE50 (NSEC3) should be an 
unknown RR type and should be transmitted as is, no?
