I would put https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7477 aka
"Child-to-Parent Synchronization in DNS"
on the list.

DNSSEC is required to do this in a secure way but once we have it we can
get rid of parent-child NS desynchronization problem.

That would help a lot with DNS operations/debugging because parent-child
desync can be lurking for months or even years before last NS is moved
elsewhere and then whole domain breaks suddenly.
