No, though talk to Joe Abley if you want some practical interop experience :-) https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dnsop/Ttvz3m_x7PyS6czeT-K9VQYQeqY/?qid=bff38cd5089003ca0d849bb8f2150644

Similarly, there’s nothing stopping you from putting PTR records in the “forward” DNS - my dodgy VM provisioning scripts stuff EUI48 <-> hostname maps in the DNS (the vm’s MAC address is its most persistent externally visible identifier).

08-00-27-b6-01-b4.dev.dns.cam.ac.uk. 3 IN PTR   vm0.dev.dns.cam.ac.uk.
vm0.dev.dns.cam.ac.uk.  3       IN      EUI48   08-00-27-b6-01-b4
