This definition is fine, for me. I note that "DNS name" (unlike

either we add your proposed definition in the terminology draft or in
the .ALT draft.
I think only here. The terminology draft was attempting not to break
new ground (and anyway, it's well past the point where we ought to be
making substantive edits).
Correct.
We actually define "pseudo-TLD",
Speaking of which, according to this definition, when I make a typo
and type "hot.xxxx", and the root replies NXDOMAIN, ".xxxx" is a
pseudo-TLD ("A label that appears in a fully-qualified domain name in
the position of a TLD, but which is not registered in the global
DNS")?
It would be according to this draft, yes.
And that seems to be the correct thing to do. The DNS does not know that
Stephane "made a typo"; he could have been writing code for a new
outside-the-DNS application that uses this string.
