Yes, but the political considerations prevent it, for now.
The folks who run the root servers are afraid to allow full zone
transfers as that means that whoever can receive the transfer
effectively becomes another root server. This has the effect that it
diminishes the hold that the root servers have on the net and the
political power that goes with that.
This will not change until DNS actually fails for an extended amount of
time.
