In homenet we discussed how the CPE can outsource the reverse zone to a third 
party. This means that we considered the reverse zone generation could be 
delegated to each customer by the ISP.

Yes, this is what we should recommend. I don't expect all ISPs to do this, but 
it's the right thing to do on a technical level, unless we want to deprecate 
PTR records. The idea that this shouldn't happen goes against the notion of 
end-to-end service on the internet: it presumes that "providers" are not "end 
users," and while this is a prevalent business model at the moment, I don't 
think it's a business model the IETF should be favoring (or, to be clear, that 
we should be discouraging either).
