I strongly oppose this.  There is nothing special about a TLD name server
(or any name server, to be precise, that is not a root name server).

Neutrality doesn't come into play - as soon as the TLD holder purchases
connectivity anywhere, he isn't neutral anymore anyway.  I see using
upstream space not significantly different from using upstream 
connectivity.
