OT: PTR record setup

Hello!
While discussing PTR records for mail servers in a Vamsoft ORF newsgroup,
the question came up about who can set up a PTR and where. I had always been
told that only the owner of the IP block could set up the PTR record, i.e.,
the ISP has to do it.
This question came up:
"I wonder what happens if the ISP customer's authoritative Name Servers
publish a PTR record for their ISP-assigned IP address--both in the cases
that the ISP does and doesn't have a PTR in their own Name Servers. Is
there some mechanism that keeps the customer's PTRs from being looked-up by
the Internet?"
So according to everything I have read (mostly posts in here), the ISP has
to do it. The question is, why can't anyone do it on their own DNS server,
or on their DNS host such as GoDaddy, etc?
Thank you!
Gregg Hill
