On that note, it will be very interesting to see who manages to register the *.sucks TLD, and what they do with it.
Well, I guess this shoots in the foot Microsoft's name server best practices of setting up your AD domain as foo.LOCAL, using the logic that .LOCAL is safe because it cannot be resolved by the root name servers.
Who wants to be the first to try to register *.local?
They should have been following RFC 2606.

Thinking about it a little more, what about the common use of 'localhost.localdomain' for 127.0.0.1 in most versions of *nix? I can just imagine the chaos that registering a *.localdomain TLD will cause. Methinks it is time to update RFC2606 to reflect common practices before the new ICANN policies take effect.
