My one addition would be to word this such that the division is not just
ccTLD and gTLD, but those are examples.  ("into ccTLDs, gTLDs, and other
categories;")[0]

For a DNS terminology document, that is all that is needed.  Top-level
Domains, as a black box, are the same to the DNS protocol and operator.

Unless you are running DNS for one or more TLDs. ;)

[0] - Because to others, sTLDs matter, .brand TLDs matter, IDN TLDs
matter, IDN ccTLDs matter... not to DNS protocol matters itself except we
get sidetracked talking about these things.
