Just a small warning: RPP is not limited to TLD. There are many public
(accepting domain name registrations from a wide public) registries
which are not TLD.

RDAP bootstrap is not limited to TLD (RFC 9224 "If a domain RDAP query
for a.b.example.com matches both com and example.com entries in the
registry, then the longest match applies and the example.com entry is
used by the client.")

Also, RDAP relies on HTTP redirection and, currently,
draft-wullink-rpp-core-05 seems silent about redirection (should a RPP
client follow it?)
