Did you BOTHER TO READ the draft before commenting as the comments
imply that you haven't.  Nothing in the draft is more difficult
than is what is already being done inside enterprises networks today
every single minute of the day.

Enterprise DHCP servers construct DNS PTR records and add them to
the DNS using TSIG signed UPDATE requests.  They do it at one per
machine.

This is DHCP servers constucting a DNS KEY record and adding it to
the DNS using TSIG signed UPDATE requests.  The amount is ONE per
customer.  ISP's already support a PTR record per customer so your
scale arguement is blown out of the water.  This is draft addresses
the delegation issue by automating it so that any CPE device from
any manufacture can perform the delegation without humans being
involved.
