ISP-A needs the ability to say "Attention $REGISTRAR, $HOSTNAME is no longer valid, as evidenced by the current lack of a PTR record. Please remove it".
Indeed. Insist on a true NXDOMAIN response to authorize removing of the record, so that records cannot be removed due to nameservers having technical problems.
Of course, this is a great idea, but can we actually get it implemented by the relevant agencies? ;-)
I think it has the best chance, because at least it does not require coordination between agencies! -Phil
