Are you aware of actual plans to allow A records for TLDs? I don't have links to earlier discussion offhand, but I recall the consensus being that that shouldn't be allowed at all.
Many of the ccTLDs already have them. I've mentioned "AI". That's just an example. Here's the full list of TLDs that resolve to IP addresses for HTTP requests: AC -- [('193.223.78.210', 80)] AI -- [('209.59.119.34', 80)] CM -- [('195.24.205.60', 80)] DK -- [('193.163.102.24', 80)] GG -- [('87.117.196.80', 80)] IO -- [('193.223.78.212', 80)] JE -- [('87.117.196.80', 80)] KH -- [('203.223.32.21', 80)] PN -- [('80.68.93.100', 80)] SH -- [('193.223.78.211', 80)] TK -- [('217.119.57.22', 80)] TM -- [('193.223.78.213', 80)] TO -- [('216.74.32.107', 80)] UZ -- [('91.212.89.8', 80)] VI -- [('193.0.0.198', 80)] WS -- [('64.70.19.33', 80)] XN--O3CW4H -- [('203.146.249.130', 80)] (ไทย, the Thai TLD.) About half of those IP addresses have a live web site behind them. Others have parking pages or Apache error pages.
