Really TLDs doing repeated checks? I know some do when you 
register domains, but repeatedly? Examples?

They recommend something. The problems is when your 
recommendations are interfering with business or policy aspects
which this draft clearly does:

"If repeated attempts to inform and get the customer to correct /
   replace the faulty server are unsuccessful the TLD operator shall
   remove all delegations to said server from the zone."

So you are telling TLD to spend money for checks that will decrease
there revenue. TLDs make money by registering domains. The don't make
money by running DNS, that is cost.

I know that a lot of TLDs go to great lengths running a good DNS
service and have sensible policies for there registrars to run a good
DNS service also, and the above comments are not for them, but some 
people only look at the money.

So long
