How would a receiver discover the top-level domain given example.com,

The same way we do now: annoying, manually maintained case statements.
    


This relies on a resource that is not specified in the document, is not 
publicly standardized, and changes.

Not such a good thing.
  

Exactly what terrible outcome does this produce if this is done wrong?  
It's unlikely that com, ac.uk, or org.au are going to publish ADSP 
records.  So there is an unnecessary query to the parent, which is 
probably cached anyway (15 minutes for com, 1 day for ac.uk).
