It has to be possible to type it. "hm.arpa" would be amusing. I think that if we are going to have to live with no secure delegations from the root, which I really can't argue with, then we need to have a securely-delegated TLD that is _not_ .arpa for stuff like this. I think the point raised about .arpa is unfortunately somewhat legitimate. .alt will have to be securely delegated also, but it doesn't have a registry so it won't help with this use case.
