Interesting remark. I indeed did not find one. It should probably be a
small extension of RFC 5731:

   C:      <domain:create
   C:       xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.1">
   C:        <domain:name>example.com</domain:name>
   C:        <domain:period unit="y">2</domain:period>
   C:        <domain:dname>empty.as112.arpa</domain:dname>
   C:        <domain:registrant>jd1234</domain:registrant>
   C:        <domain:contact type="admin">sh8013</domain:contact>
   C:        <domain:contact type="tech">sh8013</domain:contact>
   C:        <domain:authInfo>
   C:          <domain:pw>2fooBAR</domain:pw>
   C:        </domain:authInfo>
   C:      </domain:create>

I'll ask regext tomorrow about it :-)

But there is no choice. If we decide to delegate .internal to AS112
(*if*: see Joe Abley's message), we cannot use NS records because the
AS112 servers won't recognize the new TLD, and there is no way to
change them all these servers (RFC 7535, section 1).
