I think the fix would be to registry operations, not the protocol.

Registries that implement host records (so, at least the gTLDs) could  
accept the word of the registrant of the zone that contains a name  
server (or the word of their registrar on their behalf) that the  
server is no longer authoritative for zone X.  Registries that haven't  
implemented host records could also do it, but it may be more  
complicated to implement, depending on their particular system.
