This is an bad idea because introducing a new zone at an existing name
should really, really be transparent to the rest of the world. (Thanks
to configuration options like (root-)delegation-only, this is already
not true to some extent, but there's no reason to repeat past mistakes.)

What's worse, bringing technical and administrative delegation into
agreement requires significant changes, which are unlikely to happen.
You need to take into account that this data is not just needed to make
new services secure on the surface, but also to deal with fairly old
protocol mishaps.
