To be honest it was an oversight on our part. We deleted all the Forward
DOMAIN objects ending in .TLD. But the TLD object itself has no '.' so
they were not deleted. We have now deleted them all (except for the 4
active TLD operators). Thanks for pointing this out.

Incidentally, we have also just deleted a small number of invalid
reverse DOMAIN objects as well. For example objects ending in
'in-addr-arpa' with a '-' instead of a '.'.
