Applications have been made, but until colliding TLDs are accepted by 
I.C.A.N.N. there's nothing bad happening here is there?

Of course by the time they are accepted, it's too late.

Therefore should OpenNIC approach I.C.A.N.N. at least for clarification on 
whether they will respect OpenNIC TLDs and if they refuse to respect 
OpenNIC's TLDs then make a noise about it, with the added weight of their 
refusal?
