Depending on where you are, one might argue that certain ccTLD zones
really are more critical than any of the gTLD's. I don't think you'll be
able to phrase it very well.

Also, some TLD registries doesn't want anyone to have copies of the entire
zone, so they choose to run all servers themselves.

Even if you were to get it into an RFC with reasonable wording, and, let's
say .dk was critical for Danish people, what means could be used to force
a ccTLD to have secondaries not run by themselves?

I think there's a long way to go before that were to happen, since the
agreements between many ccTLD registries and ICANN is kind of foggy.
