It breaks a few things we care about--for example, www.ithaca.ny.us is
a naked CNAME in the the us root:

dsr_lnxcu9% dig @b.gtld.biz www.ithaca.ny.us

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @b.gtld.biz www.ithaca.ny.us
;; global options:  printcmd

www.ithaca.ny.us.       900     IN      CNAME   fallcrk.tc.cornell.edu.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

.                       433340  IN      NS      K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
.                       433340  IN      NS      L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
.                       433340  IN      NS      M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
[...]

which is, IMO, more than a bit crazed, particularly considering that
ci.ithaca.ny.us is delegated, but there it is.
