Only if DNS is mis-configured.
One more incentive for people to keep their DNS working?

It is not critical, because the IN-ADDR zones work like that
anyway. Although i agree that fixing DNS in that respect
would be helpful.

Oh, c'mon. "Purity of idea" crap again. TXT RRs were introduced
specifically for that purpose.

Depends on point of view. I would say it IS desireable.
Then, as any lawyer would say you if you disallow Internet service
providers asking for renumbering you'll have to shut down telephones
first. There is a very strong case that renumbering in communication
nbetworks is an accepted practice. (Can you say ISDN or X.25/X.121 or
Frame Relay)?

Yeah, sure.
