As David Conrad mentions it, the leakage is a pollution of DNS 
buffers by a different vision of the name space. This would occur in 
the top zone if there were two different identical TLDs, the zones of 
which would be different, documented by two different root server 
systems of thee same class.

Please note that:
* The ICANN root is authoritative: the NTIA decides which servers are 
to be listed for the different TLDs.
* The ORSN root is non-authoritative: it reports the configuration 
authoritatively indicated by the TLD Managers.

This is the difference between monarchy and polycracy (where the 
common decisions emerge from the diversity of individual 
authoritative decisions which are taken by subsidiarity - i.e. by the 
zone managers, in an MS approach). In a non-attacked class, leaks can 
only happen if an authoritative root administrator decides the 
seizure of TLD. VGNICs reduce the risks from this happening.

I understand that others advocate a commercial oligarchy where the 
root would be voted by the registrars (i.e. people paying ICANN).

The DNS IETF model supports 65,365 roots, one for each class. The 
sole class that people discuss on this list is the "IN" ICANN/NTIA 
class. We call this attitude "the BUG", i.e. being unipolarly global.

Hebe.
