I know I'm way behind, but for future tests it might be useful to include
"deep" zones, where the actual RRSet owners are multiple labels long, as
in ENUM or IPv6 reverse zones or similar structures.  Both sparsely
and densely populated zones would make a test case, if only to check
there's no performance degradation compared to "flat" zones.
NSEC3 is less important in those cases, though.
