that's nonsequitur.  root server operators do not carry the dot-com or
dot-net zone files.  therefore there will never be an opportunity to
refuse (or accept) it.  root server operators (see www.root-servers.org
for details) include verisign as one of 11 organzations worldwide.  the
dot-com and dot-net zones, by comparison, are only served by verisign's
own servers, and i do not think that verisign will refuse to accept them.
