It's  "expected" behavior of the WHOIS implementation,  the "games" involving
creating WHOIS lookup ambiguity are not very amusing.

Using   <Other existing Domain Name>.<Global TLD name>.<Your Domain>
as the name of a nameserver with the registry should be considered abuse.

I would like to see the registry refuse future registrations of
<Global TLD>.<Domain>
as a nameserver,  for   3-letter TLD names.

In addition,  no new global TLD names should be created.
