Mark,
I don't think "wait and see" is a cop-out, actually. Since these
addresses are by definition useless on the Internet in general,
I think local pragmatic decision taking is the best way to find
out what we *should* recommend. It's not obvious to me that
a typical corporate deployment of ULAs will need any reverse
lookup at all. It may simply be a non-problem (apart from the load
problem that as112 addresses as I understand it).

It's not a question of how many sites will populate the reverse
zones. It's a question of how many sites will *not* setup the
reverse zone and how many applications will make a reverse
lookup on these addresses.
You are arguing above that most sites won't setup the reverse
zone. This is the situation where you need the preconfigured
reverse zones the most.
It costs real money to absorb the load. Money for servers.
Money for bandwidth to the servers.

Section 4.4 DNS Issues
This sections appears to be a real cop out.
It is perfectly natural for clients to want to make queries and
have these addresses returned from the DNS.
There is a wide range of views on what is appropriate for putting these
addresses in the global DNS. For now, I think the best way to move this
document forward is to leave it as is and wait until we have operational
experience. Once there is some operational experience it would be good if
V6OPS or DNSOPS wrote a document about the best way to do it.

I think there is plenty of IPv4 experience that translates to
this area. This is basically saying that the as112 should be
the default treatment for these reverse zones.
