For over 30 years the only place anyone has used PTR records has been
in the rDNS trees under in-addr.arpa and ip6.arpa.  I think that if
you try to use them anywhere else, you'll find way too much software
that has baked in assumptions that they don't belong there.

Note that RFC 1035 says they "are used in special domains".
