 We currently reject loading (to memory) an entire zone if we find
 an RRSIG that doesn't have a covered RRset:

 {{{#!cpp
     // Right now, we don't accept RRSIG without covered RRsets (this
     // should eventually allowed, but to do so we'll need to update the
     // finder).
 }}}

 This is overkill, and won't become realistic check anyway when we
 support the complete zone parser/loader because we cannot tell when
 the covered RRSIG is added (unless we maintain a possibly huge size of
 intermediate storage for the "orphan" RRSIGs).  The behavior is also
 incompatible with BIND 9.

 There's also a report from a user who is suffering from this behavior,
 so I suggest we should fix it now.  In terms of data structures it
 should already be possible, so it shouldn't be so difficult.
