This one caught my eye, as I know for sure that localhost.<tld> seems to be registered in most TLDs (both gTLDs and ccTLDs) by actual users (mostly because I recently looked into purchasing one such domain). Reading through draft-levine-reserved-names-registry-00, you refer to RFC 2606 for "LOCALHOST"'s addition, but RFC 2606 specifies "TEST", "EXAMPLE", "INVALID", and "LOCALHOST" as reserved TLDs, not reserved second-level domains. Only example.{com|net|org} are mentioned as reserved second-level domains as per that RFC. Also, in your I-D, you seem to use "Top" as the level for second-level domains, which seems confusing and technically incorrect. Seems like the ones that are second-level domains should be classified as "Second", "Secondary", or maybe your "Leaf" class, though "Leaf" seems odd here. In other notes, I'm happy to see you included "LOCAL" and "TLD" in your list (as reserved TLDs, I assume), as they have been proposed multiple times in various places for their addition to the reserved list, yet nobody has actually done that yet (according to a response I received from IANA in November). Another possible addition would be the new IDN test TLDs (http://www.iana.org/domains/idn-test/). With regards, ~reed -- Reed Loden - <r...@reedloden.com>
