I think there's quite probably no existing term for "the entity you as the 
registrant of a particular zone interact with in order to effect changes in the 
delegation of that zone".

Given that the taxonomy here is wide (we could mean a domain registry, or a 
zone administrator, or a sponsoring registrar, or a reseller of a sponsoring 
registrar, or ...) it makes sense to define a pithy term and use it.

"Parental agent" seems fine to me. "Parent provisioning system" seems like it 
must mean something different from that, since it looks like the name of a 
system rather than an entity (i.e. it looks like it refers to machinery 
operated by or for a parent, rather than the parent itself).
