Named already has the ability to allow a machine within a /48 to insert/remove a
delegation at the /48 point using TCP to authenticate the update request.
I wrote the code to support this about the same time as Geoff Huston was looking
at setting up 6to4 reverse delegations.  He ended up going the HTTP to do it.
The code to do that works for any /48 for IPv6 connections.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-andrews-dnsop-pd-reverse-02 is a fully fleshed
out example of how to do this but I couldn’t get even a request to adopt call 
from the DNSOP chairs when I presented it.  Can we stop leaving this in
limbo and move it forward?
