As the backend operator for .berlin, we have now removed the respective record 
from our zone generation logic. As far as I understand, the original intent of 
the record was to attach a legal notice to the zone that survives a zone 
transfer, and - as far as i know - the intent was also that this disclaimer 
would only apply to the zone as a whole. A similar record has been in use under 
.at for ages, and never caused any technical nor administrative issues.

There's also been a dot less A record for .dk for ages, but even then ICANN 
prohibited those on gTLDs and IAB considered them harmful.

True, but it is not what I said. You asked several questions about

serving localhost IPs cause the kind of visibility required to inspire

Perhaps -- but them's the laws (in *this* context).
ccTLDs are not constrained by these, new gTLDs are -- they signed a contract.

If you believe the laws are wrong (as many do!), come help change them.
I personally think that many of the USA laws are wrong, but seeing as
I don't (usefully) participate in the political process I've lost the

Interesting logic. You should bring this up with ICANN, given that you earlier 
agreed to not put any such records in your zone, but it sounds like you have a 
believable business case to want something there.

 A similar record has been in use under .at for ages, and never caused any 
 technical nor administrative issues. 

ccTLDs cannot have administrative issues because politics.

Without addressing the issues around text records and claims of copyright, I'm 
curious about one other thing - why is the record in English? The nic.at 
website isn't (at least, not by default), and I would expect the record to be 
likewise.

That you have been made aware of.

Entering anything at a zone apex of a tld is effectively introducing
unqualified data into the system.  No, the period at the end does
not qualify the name given how search algorithms in stub resolvers
work.  This would be less if a issue if searches stopped on no data
responses but they don't.

Note entering anything that is found by adding a automatic prefix
to a tld which is found as the result of the resolver searching is
also effectively unqualified data.

e.g.
_http._tcp.berlin SRV would be just as bad a berlin A or
berlin  (assuming that _http._tcp is the eventual SRV
prefix for http) as it would be found by entering berlin and
searching.

However entering _whois._tcp.berlin would not be as whois arguments
are absolute by default.

Possible, but there is a difference, as you point out implicitly, between 
whether TXT or whatever might create problems or not and the question whether 
the rules of ICANN is violated.

Lets keep the two issues separated from each other.
