You're right, it could, and I'd forgotten earlier that the appendix
does also mention lax.xfr.dns.icann.org and iad.xfr.dns.icann.org.

However, the root servers are the root servers. We all know A through M by
heart, and resolvers have their addresses built in and kept up to date.
Seems like a useful thing to leverage, if possible.
