If they would get ALL the TLDs off of the root servers finally,
including .arpa (Which I understand ARIN is working on doing right
now) the registry wouldn't need to know anything about ccTLD
nameservers, and could instead just accept the host names without
"registration" of any kind, and no need to even worry about it.
They don't need them now for org/com/net, and they don't use the IPs
at all in the zone files (and if they did, they would be ignored
anyway).
This is just a carry over from some things have been "broken" in NSI's
operations for many many years.
