Hi Ben,

What you are describing does not resemble draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld,
which would define the "alt" SUDN. That document says:
There is no IANA
registry for names under the ALT TLD - it is an unmanaged namespace,
and developers are responsible for dealing with any collisions that
may occur under .alt.
If you want a SUDN for technically meritorious non-DNS names, perhaps
you should distinguish that proposal from .alt.
A few of us discussed this today. Let's first remember that
draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld is just that- a draft, and can be changed.
With that in mind, you have to ask yourself: what happens when the next
name system researcher comes a' callin. Having the 2nd level name serves
two purposes:
1. Conflicts can be avoided between deployments of cooperating name
systems; and
2. A protocol switch is created in that label (xyz.gns.alt->gns,
xyz.eliot.alt->eliot name service)
I think there are some issues with doing all of this (like the IANA
policy Stephen is asking about), but they may not be insurmountable.
Anyway, seems like it's worth a healthy discussion.
