I hope this is a small enough modification to make it into the doc:

As a considerable portion of AS112 traffic is UPDATEs, not QUERYs, my 
mind would be eased if a section in the internet-draft would be devoted 
on how UPDATE traffic will be affected by this draft.

Suppose that 10.in-addr.arpa is one day DNAME'd to empty.as112.arpa, and 
some Windows client with IP 10.0.0.123 wants to update its reverse in 
that zone. It looks for the right name server to send its UPDATE in the 
SOA record corresponding to 123.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa, right?

Which SOA record would the client be served? How will UPDATE traffic end 
up on the blackhole.as112.arpa server?
