While I agree that the general case is interesting and should be
documented, I believe that there's (somewhat) more risk to the specific
case of a TLD (or second- and even third-level registrars), since those
are entities that are generally organizationally independent of the
domains within their namespace.
Hierarchy in naming does not imply nor necessarily follow hierarchy in
organization. It's a failure to ignore the feature of "delegation" by
assuming that something (== RR) attached to a domain name automatically
applies to all that name's descendants.
This has nothing to do with TLDs or TLD operators/registries being
or being considered malicious. It similarly applies to, say, a university's
naming scheme.
