Split horizon is another thing.   I'm talking about locally resolved zones
(RFC 6303).

I see that as a kind of split horizon. One of the problems with the toxic waste is that we don't know how much of it is from names that are supposed to be resolved locally but escaped (much of .corp I would guess) and how much is just mistakes (.belkin.)

Don't forget names resolved locally with the DNS Protocol, like
1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.   A lot of the names you describe as "toxic
waste" are likely resolved this way.

I suppose split horizon fits in there somewhere, but the toxic waste I was
thinking about is stuff like .corp and .belkin which leak out of random
old bits of hardware and software.

The drafts are:

      https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-adpkja-dnsop-
special-names-problem/

Having read them both, neither one thrills me but I'd give the nod to
adpkja.  The "Internet Names" in tldr seems to me a bad idea, since
there are a lot of other names on the Internet such as URIs and handle
system names, and this is about domain names.

It seems to me there are four kinds of names we have to worry about, and
neither draft calls them all out clearly:

* Names resolved globally with the DNS protocol, i.e.
  ordinary DNS names

* Names resolved globally with an agreed non-DNS protocol, e.g.
  .onion via ToR

* Names resolved locally with an agreed non-DNS protocol, e.g,
  .local via mDNS

* Names resolved locally with unknown protocols, e.g. .corp and
  .home, the toxic waste names
