The whole idea that 'real DNS' can arbitrarily pre-empt local name resolution seems, well, wrong, and needs serious study for security implications for the services using those names, no?
The whole idea that local names should look like DNS names and be queried through the same APIs and user interfaces seems, well, wrong (or dubious at best), and needs serious study for the implications of applications using those APIs and the impact of such names on DNS, no?
IMO, local names and a lookup service for local names would be extremely useful, but neither the names nor the query interface should look much like DNS - the names should look different because otherwise there's too much potential for confusion with DNS names, and the query service should look different because local name lookup service probably can't make the same kinds of consistency or stability assurances that DNS does.
