No, the dot on the end point to the root servers. COM and ORG are
actually a sort of sub-domain to the root servers, they each controll a
domain, also known as authoritive, different companies like netsol and
versign are authoritive over different domain extensions, then when you
get a domain, they set you as the authoritive of yourdomain.com. which
means you define what ip's are what domains. You can even continue and
create deeper domain authoritives by passing the buck to say
newYork.yourdomain.com.
Hope that makes sense, DNS was hard at first for me to get a grip on,
but it's actually pretty simple...

My understanding is they say that is the end of to domain name to point to.
Kind of like ";" in some programing languages says this is the end of this
line of code.
If the records are for fubar.com and you make a cname that points
test.fubar.com to ghs.google.com & you forget the trailing "." it instead
points to ghs.google.com.fubar.com. as it assumes that is what you meant.
So if you wanted test.fubar.com to point to ghs.google.com you would point
it to ghs.google.com. instead.
