This is a bit like using IP addresses within private networks. We have RFC1918 to specify some addresses which are specifically not routable on public networks to minimize this confusion. That doesn't mean that some people don't use unallocated (or even allocated) addresses within private networks... Perhaps we need a tld or a group of tld's which are analogous to RFC1918 addresses?

Most notions of "stability" are derived from a sense of steady state reachability or connectedness. The non-ICANN gTLDs create perturbations in portions of the net by changing the local semantics how to reach certain destinations. While these perturbations do not spread (due to policy), difference in the semantics of the perturbed network and the rest of the net cause a lack of reachability, creating disconnected networks, which destroy the "stability" of the net. -Subhendu
