I think you can make that assumption. There's a gap between "DNS" and "top-level domain", however. For instance, you could ask for something under arpa. The IAB controls the arpa domain. It turns out, also, that this is basically infrastructure, so that might be another reason in its favour. Of course, not everyone likes to type "thisnetwork.arpa." So maybe a TLD is important. For that case, however, I don't want us to go digging for TLDs over which there could be some controversy when we could pick from an enormous list of possible strings that nobody has ever asked for. As the old saw goes, "Don't borrow trouble."
