draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld and SAC113 would give the authors of the draft you are 
considering an easy method to do the type of naming they talk about in their 
draft. So would using a TLD that is exceptionally unlikely to be allocated in 
the global DNS, such as:
  #gns
  =gns
(or, for a more marketing spin)
  gns!

These are all perfectly valid names; they just happen not to use the LDH 
pattern that people expect from the global DNS. If the GNS team indeed wants to 
make it clear that their naming is not part of the global DNS, simply rooting 
their names in one of these TLDs (available now) or one of the ones from 
draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld or SAC113 (possibly available in the future) would 
avoid all of the interoperability problems they create in the draft.
