Reverse DNS for (typical) residential customer IPv6 addresses is dead,

When publicly-reachable services in home networks are created that may
be a different matter of course. But it is hard to imagine an ISP
automatically or dynamically generating reverse records for all the IPv6
addresses handed out to your average residential users.

This discussion is currently NOT about ISP's generating PTR records
for IPv6 reverse.

It is about the automatic delegation of the DNS reverse namespace
to to servers under customer control when the CPE device requests
it as part of the Prefix Delegation request.  This is about a adding
KEY, DS and NS records at the delegation point in a secure manner.
