I think that is rather far out of scope for the document in question.

If every single standards document must address _every_  potential
issue, the density of IETF work would have a significant Schwarzschild
radius. With 5k RFCs, one would imagine that it should be rather clear
that problems are solved in small steps and separate, independent
pieces of work.

Since I perceive that draft-liman-tld-names-04 solves more problems
than it causes, I believe that it is safe and good form to publish it
as is.
