Read, support. This is a useful addition to document how to do something.
Now, the 'outer' question of the value of reverse-DNS label binding,
thats a different conversation. I can well imagine a bunch of
bikeshed-painting, but lets focus on this as a technique for
specifying programmatic population of a zone? I like it.
I kind of disagree.
We are adding something to DNS that's not just a new RRTYPE. It requires
code changes and has a deployment and long tail. If the only result is
that anti-spammers are no longer checking reverse PTR records, we end
up with a feature in DNS that has no use, and the anti-spammers using
another method to determine "inferior" IP addresses. DNS will be the
only party left with some legacy complication.
I would feel much better if there would be some real use csases to
justify adding special code to DNS that will instantly become obsolete.
