How else did they register those names and populate them with records?


They got there with commercial DNS management systems.  Those systems 
are incredibly slow to change.  Go read 
draft-iab-protocol-success-03.txt Section 2.1.1 bullet 2.  While some 
DNS management systems allow for an MX records, their main purpose is to 
handle everyday devices that show up on a network, web servers, and 
other hosts that have nothing to do with mail.  This is most true in the 
enterprise, but also in the service provider.  In the SP environment 
records sometimes aren't even on disk, but generated on the fly. 
In those cases a code change is necessary to generate an appropriate 
ADSP record on the fly.  More code dependency.  John will say, but "who 
cares about adsl-247-6-fixip.some-domain"?  If the point was for senders 
to be able to take responsibility for their domains, they care.
