Developing a client API for those would be non trivial. The credential
model supported at present is designed to support the use case in
which an administrator of a domain can request updates be made to an
authoritative server.

That model worked fine when it was proposed when a DNS domain and a
host were the same thing.

It works much less well in the era of virtualization and cloud
computing where there can be many hosts updating the records and they
can come and go over time. And that is a big problem because the use
cases that would drive demand for an API are going to be doing just
that.
