I had faint hope that the 'generalized' attribute of 'generalized NOTIFY' would 
support use cases outside of the existing scopes :)

For what it's worth, PowerDNS Recursor already supports off-label usage of 
NOTIFY, to indicate that the recursor should remove any cache entries it has 
for zone named in the NOTIFY. Since this would of course be a DoS vector, this 
is only accepted from configured sources (as noted in another branch of the 
thread, from authoritative servers also operated by the recursor's operator).
