Roberta, Mohamed, AFTR name option was removed as a result of a concerns raised by Jari Arkko and Ralph Droms during IESG review. They were very clear that defining two options to configure the same parameter is not acceptable.
Regarding scenario mentioned by Mohamed, since you are already differentiating between different locations (as I understand in your scenario different locations provide different DNS addresses that resolve the same AFTR FQDN to different addresses, right?), you may do this explicitly and provide different AFTR addresses. Would that solve the problem? Hope that helps.
