I'd rather see a generic method instead of an (incomplete?) list of domain names to reserve. Why wasn't .bofh on that list? Why was .gnu on that list? What if GNU or someone else wishes to register .gnu as a new gTLD based on a trademark? Who are we to disallow that? This also seems similar to the USENET problem, where John Gilmore proposed/created the alt.* hierarchy. It would make more sense to me to reserve something like .alt where people can plugin onion.alt, gnu.alt, etc, and are guaranteed that the .alt domain will never actually be delegated by the root. That means new players who want some peer to peer, no DNS dependancy don't have to come back here to reserve _their_ names later on. And once you go that way, one can wonder why not use the already existing .local for that? Perhaps avoid talking to different protocol software is a good enough reason not to re-use .local. But can an RFC even do anything here? Whether you agree with ICANN procedures for new gTLDs or not, if I write some software that becomes popular using a .paul pseudo domain, when does it become valid for me to request it under RFC 6761? What precedent would tor/gnu/zkey/etc set? Does IETF even have any say in such matters? Isn't this up to IANA or ICANN? What about trademarks? What about lawsuits by Gnu Inc or Onion Corp who want their gTLD? Other questions I would have is why aren't these people using a different class from IN? They can have a class of TOR or ONION or GNU? The traditional reasons for not using any non-IN class is that a lot of software would not work well with that, but in these cases, the consumers aren't actually interested in real DNS anyway, and using a URI that indicates a different class should not be too hard to plug into existing browsers? A specific tor:// URI plugin would make more sense to me that sticking with http://sdggjaksgdkgda.onion construct, especially as at least with tor right now, you are stuck with the SOCKS API anyway. If tor would be truly transparent and map to a real ip address handled at the kernel/socket level, then it would make even more sense to map tor://sdggjaksgdkgda.onion onto a new DNS class like: sdggjaksgdkgda.onion. IN ONION 1.2.3.4 (or perhaps even a non-A/AAAA identifier, like a straight public key if that's what the new socket family would take) So I think this draft has a lot of issues, technically and legally.
