What you propose is not outlandish; some ISPs have been dual stack and providing some combination of these services for years. They already provide IPv6 ip6.arpa delegations should their business customers want them. Some even provide at least a /56 so customers can have multiple /64 subnets. And we, I mean they, can also provide RFC2317 in-addr.arpa delegations for those smaller IPv4 blocks.
The part that is missing isn't the "some ISPs", it's "all ISPs". Also, I don't know of any DNS service provider that offers a product to handle delegations from the IN-ADDR.ARPA and IP6.ARPA trees.
I'm focusing on the SOHO customer market with my proposal.
Most are regional carriers w/ monopoly and no incentive to offer anything else. This is especially the case with AT&T in my area. The same applies to other regional providers like Frontier and even services like Verizon FIOS that do not offer IPv6 at all. You really want a SMB connection w/ dedicated IP space, and they may not be able to sell that to you on their consumer network. - Jared
