Jeff, I'd be careful using DNS (as in Ze DNS) vocabulary in
specifications that are not concerned with, well, the Domain Name
System.  The DNS should be considered like SMTP or HTTP: its own
protocol with its own rules, yada yada.

A TLD (Top-Level Domain) therefore is only TLD when it's used with the
DNS root servers.  You cannot talk about "alternate Domain Name Systems
(DNS) providers", since DNS is unique, global, and served by the
official DNS root servers.  However, you can certainly mention
"alternate global name systems", and choke a suit or three by being
legitimately precise to the point you might be considered arrogant (but
thoughtful) in doing so.

I'll wait for the next version of this draft and a bit more available
time for further comments.  Glad you're joining the club of polishing
text to speak to genuine volunteers in making the Internet cool again.
