This document really doesn't seem to me to be encouraging this practice.
If anything, what this document lacks is an indication that the only
rational use of PTR records is for debugging and source-address-based
rendezvous in the DNS (e.g., publishing a public key for a host on its IP
address).   But the purpose of this document isn't to do that--it's just to
enumerate the set of choices available to ISPs.

Bear in mind that dnsop is an operations working group, and our main remit
is to give operational advice to operators of DNS servers.   This document
gives operational advice to operators of DNS servers.   It is outside of
our remit to give advice to providers of non-DNS services.   Realistically,
that is what you are proposing we do.
