There are 19 ccTLDs that have MX records at the top level. I wonder
if anyone has checked how well mail to them works. I am particularly
intruigued that Guatemala's and Trinidad's is outsourced to Google.
Which just shows 19 tld administrators that don't have clue. One
can add MX records at any node in the DNS inluding at the root.
That doesn't mean that it is sensible to add them or that they will
work reliably.
I thought my point was totally obvious but perhaps not. Should anyone
want concrete data about the flakiness of dotless domain mail rather
than just assertions, we have 19 domains who presumably have some
experience with it.
