“we have seen only one” is not true. What is true is that we pretty much told everyone who asked to go away, with the exception of .onion. E.g., .home was told to go away, and we wound up using home.arpa instead, which is perfectly fine for our use case. Your observation about implementation is

You appear to be taking the concept to a place where alt is the label which defines the start of non-DNS switching, and the 2LD is the specification of the namespace/service you work in. So its a domain model, driving to software and namespace path, before it begins resolution of the name proper. (

Hi Warren, Are you proposing dot Alt, or are you proposing dot Alt dot.? It would seem to me that a new naming system like the GNS that wants to be outside the DNS would want its own root too, like just Alt for example. You could always reel it back in later right? You know, interoperability an
