It seems to me that you could implement this using lawyers as easily as you
could using developers; it is after all arguably a static change in
procedure that doesn't need to be especially repeatable. If the root zone
maintainer is contracted to include a record, surely the record will be
included.

However, I think the more general idea that queries for internal names
should be leaked towards unknown AS112 operators is problematic. As an
end-user I would prefer my leaked queries to be jealously hoarded by one of
twelve root server operators than an inbound number of anonymous and
potentially ephemeral AS112 operators.

The potential for complete data collection at the root servers goes down as
resolvers implement aggressive NSEC caching. In the case of a delegation or
redirection, that potential is reduced since the non-existence of
individual names under internal is then the thing that is cached, not the
non-existence of the right-most label in the namespace.
