Hi Julian, pls see comments below...

OpenNIC does not currently have any peering agreement with your root. So until that happens it is a one sided relationship. I would probably suggest that they be removed from your root zone until such a time a peering agreement is in place.
wrt John's RSN, he merely point to the extant instances on a 'best efforts' basis. Thank you, obo all interested parties, for your current AUTH zone data, including your glue records.
As far as suggesting that someone remove OpenNICs data from their RSN/RSC, as a long time member of OpenNIC I can affirm that this is not OpenNIC policy to request such isolaton from the Internet Community, nor does it advance the mission of OpenNIC by painting itself into a corner of exclusivity - the notion, concept and philosophy of OpenNIC, it's membersship, and members of OpenNIC such as myself is that of Openness, Inclusion, Democracy, and Cooperation.
What you have suggested is exactly what the Alternate, Deprecated ICANN Legacy root system wants you to do - remove their TLDs from the OpenNIC rootzone.
Not a very practical idea, and also one that can be extended to the concept of search engines, although there are robots.txt files for sensitive or private data in the name space, and also for the occasional xenophobe.
Our mission, as members of OpenNIC, IMNSHO (and part of the TLDA Mission), is to seek inclusion of Inclusive Name Space content and data in Google and the rest... - not exclusion from search engines or other roots.
In closing, I would also like to point out that there have only ever been two (2) RSNs/RSCs that have held peering agreements with OpenNIC anyway - Those would be AlterNIC, and my PacificRoot.

I just love this part of your .signature, btw ;) Kindest regards, -- Bradley D.
