Ah, OK.  Then this is first and foremost a registry policy issue:
do you in your policy support registration of a place-holder /
blocker entries without any associated DNS information or not.

The registry in my backyard doesn't support place-holder
registrations, insists on delegation-only DNS information, and
insists on this being fully operational with a minimum of two
name servers before registration can complete.

If your naming policy of your registry doesn't formally allow
place-holder registrations, insists on delegation-only DNS
information, but makes no checks of the supplied information at
the time of registration, I agree that this will more or less
automatically create lame delegations.  That doesn't mean the
resulting setup in the DNS is "OK" from a DNS-technical
standpoint.  However, as a registry or policy body for the
registry you're not forced to put yourself in this particular
position.  (I might have used stronger words...)

That we can agree on :)
