No, the solution is to shift the pain to the entity responsible for the 
zone, in the hopes that it motivates them to get it fixed. At worst, it 
removes a zone that no one cares about from the 'net.

You are espousing the traditional "We have to help people limp along no 
matter how broken they are!" attitude that has suffused the DNS protocol 
and operational communities for the last 20+ years. While on one hand 
that seems a noble sentiment, it has seriously exacerbated the "long 
tail" problem that has prevented (or made nearly impossible) any true 
innovation in the space, even if such innovation is to fix the problems 
this attitude has created.
