Hello Jim,
I can only speculate, but now that the gTLDs are not served from the
root-server's, but are on their own servers, the gTLDs zones do not
need to know the IPs for nameservers under ccTLDs, since resolvers
will find them through normal dns means. So perhaps the registry is
handling this smart, and adding only the host names, since it doesn't
need the IPs in any way for them.
This certainly looks to be the case, when querying the dns server at
whois.crsnic.net, so it looks to me like Verisign/NSI finally handled
this the smart way :)
The gtld servers need only know the IP Addresses for nameservers which
are based on domains contained in the gTLD zones they serve.
