While we're talking about this draft, I would like to suggest that the draft discuss the interpretation of URIs containing ".alt" hostnames. I have great difficulty understanding what "https://example.foo.alt/"; means ... but most of the interest in alternative naming systems seems to be based on the idea that this sort of URI is meaningful.
Personally, my intuition is that there is a big difference between naming systems that essentially reuse the DNS RR types, and perhaps can thereby reuse DNS-bound URI schemes (via a new "virtual DNS interface"), and those that do not and cannot. For the latter, new URI schemes would be needed. This seems to be the essential logic behind the W3C DID effort, which starts from a new URI scheme.
