My private comment bears repeating in public. DOMAIN names is about the property of domains. Domains are encompassing, set-theory/venn-diagram style. A domain and a prefix are analogous concepts. One is expressed syntactically somehow, the other is a mathematical property of bounding in a number field but they have the same basic behaviour.
the UK domain order in coloured book mails obeyed this property: it just used reverse semantics to the ARPA model. XXXXXXXX.onion is *not* a domain name inside the .onion part: as I understand it, the value is a hash, or other function which has no nesting properties expressed syntactically. This quality of domain names, the concepts of domains, is a distinct property which bears thinking about. HOST.TXT was not a domain system, it was a linear map. Honey Danber had some qualities of domain-ness. Usenet groups after the great mod.* reordering became more domain like.
