why do you think so?

It seems that a domain of invalid may not be recognized by its name  
alone as being invalid.  How long will it be before DNS servers and  
applications reliably recognize this domain as being invalid?


There might be a desire in some protocols to publish records that  
points to an invalid hostname.  This could be their method to  
indicate a type of non-existence.  However, this might backfire as  
being seen as being a valid hostname instead.  Applications may also  
attempt to discover a name server for this domain.  What portion of  
this traffic will be mitigated?

   why do you think so?

a) nobody exists on lots of boxes.  Not all boxes alias nobody
to something that gets read.  b) localhost is usually correctly
processes to mean deliver locally. 

Put (a) and (b) together and you have mail going into a black
hole.

There is a way to do a table:

Section 4.3

[snipping out proposed inclusion of other space.]

I think I know the gist of what you're trying to do here.

W.r.t inclusion of other address space in the amended and proposed new 
sections, I would say that including *reserved* space as opposed to 
*unallocated* space is a good idea in principle.  I make this distinction, 
because I would hate to see this draft go to the other extreme and propose 
to create a DNS version of a 'bogon-prefix-list', as unallocated space 
does tend to get allocated, and people's bogon filters don't rapidly 
change to suit.  This creates all sorts of nifty routing problems. :-)
