Hi Warren,
I find the terminology in this document somewhat self-contradicting and
confusing.
* pseudo-TLD: A label that appears in a fully-qualified domain name
in the position of a TLD, but which is not registered in the
global DNS. This term is not intended to be pejorative.

.local is a tricky example because it is used for mDNS

I'd also like it to say more clearly up front that .ALT is for names that are
totally outside the DNS protocols, not for names handled locally using DNS
protocols.
It's for things like .onion, not like .local.
Both .onion and .local use protocols other than the DNS, acknowledging of
course
Unfortunately, having multiple resolution systems using the same
namespace and syntax does not provide a signal to denote which
resolution mechanism should be used - clearly .com is "in the DNS" and
.onion isn't -- but this doesn't scale, and simply saying "the DNS is
the only resolution system"

I'd also like it to say more clearly up front that .ALT is for names that are
totally outside the DNS protocols, not for names handled
I think the "Privacy Considerations" section should probably mention QNAME
minimization, which ought to help a little.
I would also be interested in seeing some guidance about interaction
between the relative form (.alt) and good old-fashioned search domains. It
seems to me that the interaction
