Hey Paul,

There is an awful lot of entrenched practice (including every
corporate environment I've ever worked) where a search list and
single-label hostnames are either a convenient short-cut or an
absolute requirement, like it or not. The collateral damage that
would result from slamming that door in enough operating environments
to make a difference is surely greater than customers, managers and
shareholders would tolerate.

What am I missing?

i'm not speaking against search lists for any single label string that is not "localhost". that's the detail you may have skimmed too quickly.

the internet draft being debated here should be recast as an update to RFC 1535 and should not mention on-the-wire behaviour at all.
