I’m having a hard time understanding the two proposed deployments

It's not as clean as I'd like, certainly. I was pushing up against
the
draft submission deadlines and didn't get all the wording into place.
In 2.2.1 it states that .internal does not exist in the GID. Yet in
the Summary section immediately after it states that .internal is an
unsigned TLD. Which is it?
.internal is an unsigned TLD and is the GID.
1. Is a special-use domain per [RFC6761], and does not (and will
never) exist in the GID. In this document, we refer to this as
".internal" for discussion purposes only following conventions
in
[draft-wkumari-dnsop-internal].
I read the above text as telling me that .internal will never exist in
the GID.
I don't see where in 2.2.1 it says that though.
In 2.2.2 it states that .zz is an unsigned delegation in the GID’s
DNS
root. Yet in the summary section it states that “.zz is a
special-use-like TLD that MUST never be assigned”. Which is it?
The later. .zz is not delegated. Again I'm not sure which sentence
you're referring to though.
2. Is an unsigned delegation within the (GID's) DNS root, with NS
records likely pointing eventually to something like
127.0.53.53.
In this document, we refer to this as ".zz" following convention
in [draft-ietf-dnsop-private-use-tld]. We note that
[draft-ietf-
dnsop-alt-tld] also proposed a private namespace (".alt") that
also fits into this category.
This seems to be saying that .zz is an unsigned delegation. Am I missing
something obvious here?
[someone did note that one of my section names is incorrect as well
and
referred to the wrong one]
My understanding of an unsigned TLD is that it is delegated in the
root zone unsigned. And I take it that GID is simply a synonym for
what many call The Public DNS.
Yep. It's "Global Internet's DNS (GID)", per the document.
There are, unfortunately, more than one naming environments. We've
known this for years with even /etc/hosts being different from the
DNS,
and NIS coming along later, etc. Nowdays, there are so many
split-systems with both internal and externally differing naming sets
I
was trying to use something that included the world "global" to be
super-clear this is the "big one".
