Maybe plus a reference to www.as112.net if they want to do something with these pseudo-TLDs. It could also say that whois.iana.org should answer queries for these pseudo-TLDs - e.g. "local not found - see BCP 32". And add your IANA-MoU 2860 4.3 reference to 2606bis. While we're at it we could also add the RfC 3696 "toplabel" rule: there is no TLD or pseudo-TLD without at least one ALPHA.
