It tells you where to find out about foo.alt if you want to use that particular un-DNS hack. Other than that, not much. Given the experience with usenet alt.*, it appears that in the absence of a daddy to declare a winner when names collide, name collision problems go away because it is much easier to avoid them than to argue. People used to the ICANN environment may find this a conceptual challenge, but that's their problem.
