I wonder if it is even necessary to enumerate/instantiate the junk TLDs?

Given that root servers have (by definition) *the* authoritative list of 
TLDs, everything else is junk.

Would not it make sense to put in wildcard delegations to AS112?

What are the pros/cons of this, other than the obvious offloading of 
junk TLD lookups?
