The ICANN Anti-Phishing Working Group has put forward a set of best
practice recommendations for ICANN registrars, currently a draft:

http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/registrars/msg05187.html

One item is of relevance to us. They state:

> Name servers should be specified as both FQDN *and* as IP addresses;
> do not allow FQDN's alone.

[The rationale is to detect and limit Fast Flux.]

I thought that there was a wide agreement in the TLD community that it
was bad practice to keep IP addresses of name servers, except when it
was necessary for the glue?
