Wouldn't it at least make sense to require that the .gprs

this TLD must not be resolved, except locally ?
Absolutely not. There are already literally dozens (if not hundreds)
of such local tlds, some of which have the same names for different
purposes.
Yup. And if ICANN were to create a real .grps TLD, they'd be in
trouble, which is yet another reason why pseudo-TLDs are a bad idea.
