It's relatively subtle: the TLD is normally not in the path when QNAME
minimization exists.

Putting something at the TLD level to disable QNAME minimization, would
affect all queries for all names in that TLD.
Which would basically trigger full QNAME queries for delegations to
second-level domains, the exact behavior that 9156 seeks to avoid.
