I think it goes without saying that no T1 server has ever been created 
unless it hosted a TLD or served another specific purpose. The only case 
of a T1 being added without a connection to a TLD is NS8.  Until 
recently it was the only non-peering T1 being operated in the European 
region, despite opennic having roughly half of our user base in that 
area.  NS8 was created to provide a local source for zone updates in 
that area, and even after all these years it is still providing a useful 
service.

I understand you're just trying to identify the rules we're already 
following, I just wanted to make it clear that there was no breech of 
this proposal which instigated the requirement for a 'new' rule to be made.
