You are mixing some things. Kent catched the sentence.
We do not speak of "IP address of a name server within your TLD" but
rather of the name server of the SLD.
There is no need to register the name server for an *SLD* (name and IP),
if the name server IS NOT in the new created SLD. Regardingless, in which
TLD the SLD is. In contrast, it is dangerous, because you have two places
for the same information (in real DNS and in the host handle). And this
two places are often out of sync :-(
I never understand the sense of the NSI requirements and the need for host
handles. In Germany, we have more then 4,000,000 DE-domains, we only
require the IP of the DNS, if the DNS is in the domain (eg. DNS
"ns3.knipp.de" is responsible for the domain "knipp.de").
