Re: [DNSOP] draft-schanzen-gns and draft-ietf-dns-alt-tld

[Martin Schanzenbach <[e-mail]>]

This is not an oversight (altough I have to admin it did not occur to me
that this a valid DNS TLD at the time of writing).
You can see in Section 7.1 that we also use "www.example.org" in the
draft.
We address the namespace topic in Section 9.9.
As mentioned, the draft currently goes all-in with respect to namespace
squatting/shadowing.
The argument is this:
GNS-aware applications will likely ONLY want to resolve through GNS OR
prefer GNS over DNS OR have their own logic to decide what to do with a
given name.

GNS-unaware application always assume DNS. In that case, IF the system
admin or user configured local overrides (e.g. for .pet or example.org)
in GNS then it is the expected behaviour that those names are resolved
through GNS. It is the same as users messing with /etc/hosts or NSS.
In fact, NSS is one method of configuring this for GNS, see Appendix
A.4.
