I'd suggest you read what I actually wrote. :) Nothing in either RFC that you quoted, or any of your examples contradicted my actual point, which was that PTR records are not valid outside of in-addr.arpa name space. If you believe they are, give valid working examples and explain their meaning, since there currently is not a definition for their use outside of in-addr.arpa.
