Which is true of for instance .SE and .DE. However, SE is moving towards
the "predictably dull" and I've spoken to people who would want the same
for .DE. While not technically hard (except as in demanding more cycles
and more RAM) something like DNSSEC is somewhat hindered by the existence
of non delegation-related data in a {cc,g}TLD. The responsability clashes
and resulting lawyer-food might just be overwhelming.
Randy is right in pointing out that TLDen with non-delegation data
exist. This is not the case for the gTLD's however, and, as I state above,
I'm not certain whether it is desirable for any other TLD either, from
an administrative-legalese standpoint that is..
