dns should decamp from some part of the domain name space, so that naming research using
domain names can continue beyond dns. warren explained that this was his goal with the
".alt" name reservation.
we don't need new terminology ("dotted names") to talk about domain names,
which are older in concept and implementation than the dns is.
Sure, you're right. I used "dotted name" here only to prevent that when I write "domain
name", people will think "DNS name". I think that's a common mix-up.
But I did not mean to introduce new terminology. The point of my message was
that I disagree with
People have projects outside the DNS and want to name them with DNS names.
Thanks,
