First off, the zone editing capabilities are a bit limited. For example, it's not possible to add an MX record for another host such as
somehost.domain.tld. IN A 1.2.3.4
somehost.domain.tld. IN MX somehost
Not necessarily something that is common to need to do, but there's really no reason I shouldn't be able to add that.
It'd also be nice if there were TXT records for SPF in the default zone templates, or at least the capability of editing the default template.
For example, say I wanted to have in my default zone a backup MX at weight 50 for another server, to service backup MX for all domains configured on a box. Or perhaps I wanted a lower weight MX to function as a mail filtering gateway.... There are a lot of things that would be handily accomplished by some increased flexability with the DNS system.
