I suspect that this discussion has shown a certain amount of confusion on the 
subject of exactly how to make name resolution work as implied by what we know 
so far about what homenets will need to do, and that it might be beneficial to 
resolve the question in a way that will allow for relatively easy changes later.

Given that any resolver operator who wants to configure their local resolver 
with special-casing for the homenet default namespace (or any other) can do so, 
the interesting question is what behavior is expected from the public DNS for 
queries on the default homenet namespace— and who has to implement it.

Which solution (.homenet or .home.arpa) is easier to refine in light of future 
experience seems fairly obvious to me.
