If every homenet has a local.arpa, then with mobility (eg, my phone) will possibly get confused by the currently attached homenet's naming, and my "home" homenet's naming. Say, for example, i try to reference (explicitly, implicitly) printer.local.arpa and i'm at, oh say, my neighbor's house. it seems that i could really easily accidentally chose my neighbor's printer which has the same name as my printer. That could possibly be a pretty bad thing.

I don't think i've seen this addressed? If not, maybe each homenet naming domain should
have some cryptographically random and unique prefix for .local.arpa?

         Title           : Simple Homenet Naming and Service Discovery 
Architecture
         Authors         : Ted Lemon
                           Daniel Migault

        Date            : 2018-07-02

Abstract:
    This document describes how names are published and resolved on
    homenets, and how hosts are configured to use these names to discover
    services on homenets.  It presents the complete architecture, and
    describes a simple subset of that architecture that can be used in
    low-cost homenet routers.
