This particular proposal was being discussed long before any of the
.onion et al proposals existed, but didn't get put into draft form until
slightly after.

Without my Homenet co-chair hat on, but as an interested party, my view
is that I'd like to see ".home" formally blocked from registration as a
new TLD [*] by putting it into the "locally served zones" list, and
perhaps sunk to AS112 to catch those queries that aren't caught via
locally served zones.
