That's true, but domains under navy.mil are (presumably) operated by
subgroups within the organization that operates navy.mil. This is not
true of a TLD.

IMO, the ac.uk case is identical to the .com case, beyond having two
points (.ac.uk and .uk) at which a _domainkey record could be used to
assert the identity of another.

While I agree that the general case is interesting and should be
documented, I believe that there's (somewhat) more risk to the specific
case of a TLD (or second- and even third-level registrars), since those
are entities that are generally organizationally independent of the
domains within their namespace.
