> Sure.  Please see Section 6, "Examples":

Ah, of course.  Oops.  I mostly wanted to clarify that odup does a tree 
walk, so if a hostile sender used addresses like 
a.b.c.d.e.f.g.h.i.j.k.l.m.n.o.p.q.r.s.t.u.v.w.x.y.z.blah.example it could 
produce a lot of noise traffic.

In practice, people will write libraries to wrap the calls, and they'll do 
whatever they do if they don't find the data they're looking for.  I agree 
there's no obvious default, since you can't tell by inspection whether a 
TLD is a private vanity TLD, a gTLD that delegates at the second level, or 
something else.
