While in practice I have no problem with suppressing the zone's NS set 
from most answers this has unindented side effects.
For most old resolver this changes their affinity from the Child side NS 
set to the parent one (i.e. makes them Parent centric).

If more an more authoritative servers do this we should be strongly 
recommending that resolvers fetch the child NS set once the resolver 
discovers a delegation.
