I think it's wrong-headed to try to use unqualified domain names to make the user's life easier. The problem is that in doing so, you are setting up a security model for them that has implications they typically have no hope of understanding. If you really want convenient naming, the security model has to be carefully thought out, and the method of delivery of those names has to be carefully specified. Whatever you wind up with, it will not be DNS or mDNS. Trying to use DNS to securely deliver site-local naming with a shared root is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
