Following the buzz about the TLD .kp, which allowed zone transfer,
then closed it, here is the current list of TLD where at least one
name server allows zone transfers. Three things to keep in mind:
1) In some cases, the TLD registers most domains at the third level,
so downloading the TLD yieds little information.
2) I don't express any opinion regarding this configuration. Allowing
zone transfers or not is a local policy decision.
3) Some TLD (like .fr, see <http://opendata.nic.fr/>) allows to
retrieve the entire list of domains, just not through AXFR.
