Hi David, Sorry, comments here, rather than in context:
Yes, the challenge is getting 6761 strings into the resolvers. If this is not achieved, it largely nullifies the efforts, from a privacy perspective, though it does enable the certificate issue. I suggest that the first, privacy, is the main issue. All attempts to curtail bike shedding are worthy. :) That choice of a singular "not-DNS" TLD is I think the important discussion. I support something short. .alt would do nicely. I suggest the importance of the establishment of a TLD to serve the purpose for *all* future non-DNS systems outweighs the interests of any claim of interest in whatever is chosen. And, it should be short. Max 3 letters. I like the confluence between the historic USENET .alt and the proposed 6761 .alt. I thank those that are taking a pragmatic response to this annoyance; dnsop is caught between 6761 and its potential long term implications. I think we need to respond in 6761's spirit and also curtail potential 18 month discussions into the future.

That appears to be the goal of some folks, however the insertion of strings into the Special Names Registry will not (of course) by itself result in recursive and authoritative servers. > If it is known that .a to .z are such; why where they not used?

They aren't -- my suggestion was to avoid bikeshed painting on the specific string to use for the "not DNS" TLD. > Additionally, we a challenge with the certificate issuance for .onion, For clarity, I was speaking of the string being used in Warren's ALT draft. I've already indicated support for ONION in the Special Names Registry for pragmatic reasons.
