Right, the assumption here is that the "closest SOA" would be a

I don't think this would work with the example I gave because the
"closest SOA" would not be bigisp.com, though an iterative process might
eventually get there.
Agreed. In cases where you administer both bigisp.com and
subdomain.bigisp.com, subdomain may have its own SOA. We could come up
with a creative strategy for finding the next SOA and see if they are owned
by the same people... but perhaps it's not too onerous to ask admins to
publish one MARID record per SOA they have.
If you have multiple subdomains, and each one has a MARID record, most of
those could be redirection-type records. This is probably still easier
than having one MARID per A or MX.
