This was, of course, the whole point of the .alt draft in the first place, at
least when I was involved in preparing it.
Indeed. If you look at SAC113 and draft-ietf-dns-alt-tld, you'll see a
lot of the same names.
I don't think any of us involved then cared whether it was alt or one
of thousands of other strings that it could have been.
The leadning candidates were .ALT or one of the ISO 3166 User-assigned
codes like .QZ, but I agree that picking one is more important than which
one gets picked.
