<http://public-root.com/tlds.htm> makes it very clear that this set of root-like servers intends to answer affirmatively and authoritatively for TLDs that the real/generally-accepted root servers would say do not exist. From the material on that page, it is also likely that, in the future, the NS records returned by these root-like servers for some TLDs will be different than those returned by the real/generally-accepted root servers.

In other words, the statement "the Public-Root is not an alternative root but a solution" seems dishonest when one reads the material at the site describing the service.
