There's an important distinction to be made between 'act like a root server' 
and 'slave the root zone'. Their appropriate course of action in the first case 
ought to be to contact a root server operator to discuss hosting an anycast 
instance. It's the second case we're discussing here.

I'd restate the problem as:

Some ISPs want to slave the root zone, so the community should document best 
practices.

Those best practices may include guidance for how root server operators might 
best make the root zone available.
