Yup - that another big one.  The LOCAL tld must by now be hugh in 
traffic.  As you know Peter the public root we have developed is the 
only one to see the microsoft TLDs.  And lets not forget localhost which 
is also a Public Root tld.  How ICANN can avoid answering LOCALHOST 
questions is beyond me.
I must say it's a blast to run your own root when you know what your 
doing.  ICANN must really get up to speed on this sort of thing.  
Unfortunately I have to agree with the majority opinion I have seen 
repeated here constantly.  ICANN as we have heard over and over again 
from others is not about technical competence and all about greed.
God does not approve.
