Servers and zones are part of the physical instancing of DNS roots. The definition of the root precedes the instance. In short, the definition of a naming structure is disjoint from the delivery and usage of that structure, be it servers and zones or whatever.
Regarding the separation of servers and zones, this is already common practice. BIND provides a good example of this. With BIND, one can serve an arbitrary set of zones from an arbitrary set of servers, subject to the ability to do zone transfers. So there is obvious separation.

We really should separate root *servers* from *root* zones. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
