Would people find the following useful?:

	A repetitive walk through the ip6.int tree, and checking the
	listed nameservers for the matching ip6.arpa entry.

This would essentially build up a list of ip6.int delegations that are
ready to be delegated under ip6.arpa, without creating a lame ip6.arpa
entry.

A little bit more work will be able to send auto/manual notifications to
the parent delegations when such a condition is met.

( Personally, I don't think any entity should blindly delegate anything
  without making sure that the nameservers for the delegations are valid
  for that delegation. )

Kind regards,
