The whole custom TLD thing is just a truly awful, awful idea.

Whether gTLD expansion is a good or bad idea (protip: good) is orthogonal
to whether anyone who has such a gTLD should be permitted to put A records 
in the DNS for the TLD proper (protip: bad, and they'd find
out the hard way, since most things would break).
