What are the pros/cons of this, other than the obvious offloading

From http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0310/pdf/wessels.pdf:

See (unnumbered) slide "Punchline from Last Year's Talk":

Category            Percent of Total (see slide for all cat's)
Unknown TLD          12.5
...
Legitimate            2.15

Of course, that is 2002/2003 data.

6:1 "bad TLD" to "good query." Off-loading bad TLDs from the roots is a big win. As with any research citation, I encourage readers to look it up too - to see if you agree with what I yanked out.
