ICANN are running a consultation on the wisdom or otherwise of
permitting A (and AAAA) records at the top level of the DNS:

I propose that Mozilla submit comments saying what a terrible idea this
is. Something along these lines:
http://forum.icann.org/lists/sac053-dotless-domains/msg00029.html
Is anyone interested in drafting something, perhaps taking inspiration
from comments submitted by others? I would expect it to cover the
unreliability and security concerns arising from the conflict with the
use of dotless names as internal names. For bonus points, talk about the
problems with creating TLS certificates for dotless names.
