Comment (by jinmei):

 Replying to [ticket:1357 vorner]:
 > The protocol allows not signing all of the AXFR messages in a transfer
 (first, last and every 100th must be signed). However, if such transfer
 comes in, the xfrin components rejects it at the first unsigned message
 (_check_response_tsig is called on each message). This makes xfrin
 unusable with TSIG with some servers (tested with pre-release version of
 Knot).

 Wow, interesting.  This is the first and only implementation that I
 know of that supports the skipped TSIG signing.  We've deferred
 the support for it because there's no known signer implementation,
 but we are (at least I'm) aware that this is a missing feature.
 Although probably still low priority, we should eventually address it
 by extending the TSIGContext implementatoin (I believe we don't have
 to touch xfrin itself).
