Funny you mention this, Karl. I remember seeing it a few months ago when I download the root zone file from the InterNIC FTP site. I was a bit perplexed by it, because I was sure ICANN nor the U.S. DoC never gave approval for the new dot-root TLD. Correct?
Typical VeriSign abuse of power. So much for ICANN doing its real duty of acting as a technical coordinator of the DNS root. :(

So what? Who cares about this dummy TLD with one record, which is present for obvious technical reasons only?
Calling that a "VeriSign abuse of power" is ridiculous, specially in front of real abuses like the wildcards.
