Some comments.
On the Intro text:
There exists a zone which is published independently from that
published by the IANA, to which roughly as many resolvers recurse as
do those which recurse to the zone published by the IANA. The text
"even in systems that are not part of the global DNS administered by
IANA" unfortunately suggests that the mechanism of recursion differs,
depending on whether or not resolution is attempted against the IANA
published zone and its delegations, or a similar zone and its similar
delegations.
Can you say more about this zone? Having details would be useful.
IMO, nothing is gained, and something may be lost, by suggesting that
the DNS begins, and ends, with the IANA published zone.
If the operators of the other zone you allude to want to follow this
spec, that's fine, but trying to write a spec that covers all possible
root zones seems much more difficult than writing a spec about the DNS
about which that this group cares most.
