It's "expected" behavior of the WHOIS implementation, the "games" involving
creating WHOIS lookup ambiguity are not very amusing.
Using <Other existing Domain Name>.<Global TLD name>.<Your Domain>
as the name of a nameserver with the registry should be considered abuse.
I would like to see the registry refuse future registrations of
<Global TLD>.<Domain>
as a nameserver, for 3-letter TLD names.
In addition, no new global TLD names should be created.
