The same way you can do so now: you validate the response yourself.

Assuming they don't tell you, perhaps reduced latency, particularly in 
non-existent TLD cases.

Heh.

Personally, I'd prefer informational until there is more publicly discussed 
deployment experience. There are undoubtedly quirks, tricks, and gotchas that 
will come out as people discuss what they've been doing more publicly. Perhaps 
a second iteration would fit into BCP.

I'm not sure there can be a litmus test. What's being discussed is a technique 
anyone running a resolver can implement. It's not like an informational RFC or 
BCP on the topic would be creating a new capability. It would, as Ralf points 
out, be documenting an existing practice.

Isn't this a variation of the "stale data" problem? In the worst case (where a 
resolution provider does not refresh), you can always point to a different 
resolution provider (or do it yourself).
