ZSKs sign some RRsets but not others

A newly minted ZSK signs a domain's SOA but not its A or MX records.
What basic config step did I miss?

For the domain 'trikids123.com' I created and installed a new ZSK with a
key ID of 28053 using these commands:

dnssec-keygen -a 8 -b 1024 trikids123.com
chown bind:bind *   # this is bind910 on FreeBSD 10.1
chmod o-r *
rndc loadkeys trikids123.com

No complaints in the log. But then:

- 'dig +dnssec +multi soa trikids123.com' shows the RRset signed by the
new ZSK (28053).

- 'dig +dnssec +multi a trikids123.com' does not show the RRset signed
by the new ZSK (28053). Same with a query for the MX record.

The zone's definition in named.conf:

	zone "trikids123.com" in {
 		type master;
 		file "dynamic/trikids123.com/trikids123.com.db";
		allow-query { any; };
		allow-transfer { external-xfer; };
		notify yes;
		key-directory "keys/trikids123.com";
		inline-signing yes;
		auto-dnssec maintain;
	};

Thanks in advance for troubleshooting clues.
