Short summary: it's not entirely whack, but no one has yet put forward a
working data model. The scheme in Bill Manning's INET'98 paper might have
worked for classFUL addresses, but not CIDR. I think there may have been
similar problems with Lutz Donnerhacke and Wouter Wijngaards' scheme(s) from
2008.
Joe Abley's problem statement on this list gets to one of the issues. Your
answer to him of "New prefix-based RRs? And perhaps even a new .arpa or
in-addr.arpa subdomain" is a bit short on details. I challenge you to work out
the details. Once we have something concrete, then we can pick apart why it
won't work, tweak, and repeat.
