Just to clarify, since I'm responsible for that particular red herring, I had at the time forgotten that the TLD zone don't actually *live* in the root -- I know; silly me, right? -- and that the root wouldn't be affected by the sort of things that previously-2LD now TLD operators might want to do with their monocomponent names... which as someone pointed out, a 3-digit RFC forbids for security reasons anyway.
