Re: a new DNS root for the world?

Wouldn't it at least make  sense to require that the .gprs
"pseudo-TLD" be reserved by IANA under Section 4 of RFC 2860 ("technical work 
items" and
"assignments of domain names for technical uses"), with the proviso that 
this TLD must not be resolved, except locally ?

This is under the theory that anything that looks like a tld and is used in 
IP DNS 
will eventually leak into the public infrastructure.

IMHO it would make a lot more sense to distribute the (ICANN signed)
root zone by multicast (or what the heck, even BGP) so that resolvers
would never refer queries to the root.
