If this is your concern, anchor your alternative space into a DNS namespace. If you want to be able to pick any string, it’s only fair others can do the same. Ones reaps what one sows. > "bob.foo.alt" still squarely falls into "my" namespace It is indeed not “yours”. If you want a unique name solely belonging to you, you have to play with the rules set out for those.
