Dear Phillip,
Full agreement. Let not confuse alt-roots and open-roots. The Chinese 
TLDs are in the top zone for nearly 2 years. The problem is that we 
have now to adopt an official doctrine concerning the different 
official roots we will see emerging this way. Several meetings where 
held on different premises recently which stayed unconclusive. ICANN 
has a contested proposition of testing. A new IDN TLD WG emerged a 
few hours ago. Today the theory of the single authoritative root file 
seems to still prevail. But after the GSMA deal with Neustar ... 
everyone knows that a global walled garden has only a few chances not 
to leak. Is that still supposed "single" authoritative file/folder 
(?) real, virtual?
Difficult to say.

PS. Have a good drink!
