The problem there is that there is _no way_ to have a rule about this.
It's not that we never thought about it; it's that you can't possibly
specify a rule that will solve this problem. 

If there are zone cuts, it is _just impossible_ to know what might end
up lurking on the other side of the cut, not only at the time of
registration but also later, since a DNAME could be introduced at a
later date (indeed, that's actually one of the target use cases of
DNAMEs).
