I was wondering whether I should have stated that a bit more carefully, but 'part of the DNS' might be a different thing than 'could use DNS'. I wasn't suggesting there shouldn't be any reservations, but 'looks like a domain name' is way, way too wide a definition. In that case we need to reserve any possible TLD. Including all existing gTLD and ccTLD's. As for mDNS, I do not know; you tell me :) Is there a problem in anything that is *not* either a definite bug in a program or a user copy-pasting the name in a browser window?
