Yes this is a good suggestion. Examples: printer3 is unqualified. printer3.local. in mDNS is a LQDN. printer3.sitelocal. (or any of the <giberish>.special-tld variants, including any based on ULA or alignment of the stars) in DNS is a LQDN. printer3.<global-dns-domain>. is a FQDN. Note that for both LQDN and FQDN above, a trailing dot exists. printer3.local.<global-dns-domain>. is and always was a valid FQDN even before mDNS existed. local is only reserved when used as a TLD.
