Maybe Marco. I did say I was hand-waving though. :-)

That said, there might be some merit in a scheme like the one I outlined. 
Assuming of course that there was a clean separation between the 
registry-registrar channel and the management of DNS content. Which may not be 
there because registrars generally provide DNS for their registrants. If a bad 
guy has to spoof the registrants's credentials for the registrar AND change the 
DNS content for the domain to be hijacked, that might be a good enough barrier 
for "important" zones. After all they're unlikely to be hosted or managed from 
the registrar's control panel, less so if DNSSEC is involved.

So don't do that. :-)
