Canonical list of overly general domains?

While I haven't been able to find a good list of domains that meet
this requirement, what does everybody think of the idea that if you
can't find a DNS entry for the domain part of the trust root then it's
not a good candidate for a trust root.

Maybe it's just my DNS servers, but I'm not getting a response for
things such as "com" or "co.uk"

any thoughts?
