this is more tending to the provisioning and the registrar requirements side of 
things, than DNS on the wire.

I recently wrote to godaddy asking why they refused to let me specify arbitrary 
NS against my domain.

Their answer is quite succinct:

Dear George,

Thank you for contacting Online Support regarding nameservers. You can only 
registered nameservers for domains you have with us. If the nameservers you are 
attempting to use do not involve a domain with us then the other company needs 
to register those nameservers. We only allow registered nameservers to be used 
on domains with us. 

Please let us know if we can help you in any other way.

Sincerely,
Jason P
Online Support Representative

I am struggling to understand how a registrar can apply this restriction facing 
updates to registry for my domain. Surely this wasn't forseen as a requirement 
for registrar operations?

Given that the only entity which can update my WHOIS record is .. godaddy, this 
is a real non-sequiteur answer: I am catch-22 if I retain a relationship with 
this registrar.

Oh yes: new domains are captive for 60 days. So.. I can't move registrar for 
another 2 months.

(I did in-baliwick NS, and got round it)

-George
