I'm thinking I'd much more like to see a specific recommendation that HOMENET
gateways implement a site-managed reverse tree, optionally augmented with a
zero-configuration method for generating content explicitly managed by a
knowledgeable home network administrator.
For example, after I install a fresh HOMENET gateway in my new house, I expect
the following things just to happen correctly without any forethought:
1. The integrated DNS content server should have authority for all of the
ip6.arpa corresponding to the IPv6 prefixes delegated by its service provider;
2. The integrated DNS resolving server should answer [on the local network
only] for the locally generated ULA prefixes required by RFC 6106.
3. Queries for PTR records in zones for which it's authoritative should always
produce a synthesized answer if no explicitly configured records are stored in
the content server.

I think you could add to the above that the provider should offer to
delegate a forward zone and a reverse zone via DHCP extension and
offer to provide DNS secondary for those zones. Note that
draft-lemon-dhc-dns-pd doesn't go that far (offering a forward zone
name to use), but it would be a useful addition.

This also covers security considerations.
It would be nice if the customer router could request that the
provider secondary also pick up a zone allocated to the site by a
registrar. The provider router can verify this by looking up the NS
records for that zone and determining that the A or AAAA for at least
one of the existing nameservers falls with the static address
allocation of the site. This would be for advanced users and the
advanced user (or a sufficiently advanced DHCP/nameserver coupling)
could then update the list of NS records adding the provider
secondary.
Covered in a completely different way in:
