ISP's/LIR's should be required to provide reverse DNS. Even if it's just a 
generic reverse such as adsl-xx-xx.isp.com

No privacy issues aren't irrelevant.
When I got my IP range at home, I wasn't informed that my details could 
potentially appear in a public registry - they didn't in the end, although 
there is an inetnum for my range it's fully admin'd by my ISP and doesn't 
contain any of my details.
Privacy issues must be addressed, and there is actually no reason why the end 
user's details need to be associated with the inetnum.
