FWIW, Shane, Stephen and I have been sorting out the details of
opportunistic whole zone cache refresh, an alpha draft version of which
can be found here:

https://github.com/muks/dnsrefresh/blob/master/draft-muks-dnsop-opportunistic-refresh.xml

As the SOA serial is usually meaningful in the context of zone
transfers, we're still discussing the details of why, what, how, etc. It
should've been ready by this IETF, but hopefully we'd have completed an
initial draft by the next one. Feedback to the idea so far has been
mixed.
