Indeed, there is no way I would allow that either. But really,
providing a reverse zone and forward zone to match is a case of five
minutes and a shell script or a DNS that as Steinar said, will
synthesise results.

It's really not all that difficult..

No, not at all.  It's just totally pointless.  Any IPv6 address is just
as pretty as a synthesized name.  Maybe even prettier. Do you prefer
"2001:db8:1::2" or "20010db8000100000000000000000002.rev.example.com"?

If we're going to provide any reverse DNS for end users, then it is
because we can create names which actually improves something.
