Also the ICANN's rule for signed TLD delegation for new gTLD is so
that delegations from those zones can be signed.  It is not so that
NXDOMAINS are secure or else NSEC3 with OPTOUT would be banned.
There are lots of insecure answers from the new TLDs including
delegations.  Only those using NSEC or NSEC3 without OPTOUT are
secure.

Alt doesn't have any delegations.  There is no reason for it to be
signed.  There is no reason for ICANN to object other than religious
arguments.  Technically they don't have a leg to stand on.
