I suspect I might have a better list than you (:-) hint: I work at  
ICANN).

My reading of Yngve's draft (in particular, section 5.1) led me to  
believe that all TLDs would not need to run such a service, rather  
that such a service be available in a "well known" place (I think the  
right approach would be for IANA to maintain pointers to well known  
places, but that's an implementation detail).

I'm curious: have you consulted with the various TLD-related  
organizations (e.g., ccNSO, gNSO, CENTR, APTLD, AfTLD, LACTLD, etc.)  
on how to solve this problem?

In any event, while I think the goal you are trying to reach is a good  
one, I suspect the implementation approach you're suggesting will lead  
to regrets.  However, your code and all that...

"Just by asking".

I gather I misunderstood.
