DNSSEC implementation on IPv6 PTR Zones

And I can testify that this works. I have 2001:42a0::/32 signed via AFRINIC.

One suggestion though. When one signs an IPv4 reverse - use NSEC - as 
everyone can guess what is there anyway.
With IPv6 - you might want to use NSEC3 - as there can be huge holes in 
the reverse zone. Make the bad guy work at guessing what is in the zone.
Also - if signing a brand new zone - try using Algo 13 (Elliptical 
curve) as it will generate shorter keys - so less chance of your zone 
being used in a DNS DDOS amplification attack - it doesn't amplify as much.
