This is good, the problem is "and hopefully vice versa". ICANN can break this by grabbing contested names and counting on the fact that 99% of users will see what they want them to.

Not really. For anyone whose device supports the new name resolution system, if the TLD it's doing a look up on is associated with a public key then there would be no reason to even use normal DNS (which is significantly less secure because it has no widely implemented method to verify that the response is authentic).
