Think extra zone :)

They are not the ones generating this traffic.  Its users as they cross over
dns zones.  i.e. travelers from china staying at a hotel in the USA who
can't access their language script idn national china tlds via the legacy
IANA root.

It will.  Makes the perfect dns equivalent of the bin bucket trash can.
However the question remains - does it help the user in the end.  Would it
be more appropriate in my example above that the legacy root simply
recognize Chinese national tlds?  That would get rid of some of the error
traffic of the root and do a service to travelers from china.

Think users - not roots.
