And I think this would actually be a good thing.

If we created a registry for alt, how would alt not be just another
TLD with exactly the same status as any other domain name registry?
You can already register a name in the DNS registries and not turn it
on in the DNS.

What you're suggesting is that the IETF run a parallel registry for
people who don't want to pay registrars and registries.  I think it
would be unwise for the IETF to get into that business.

Best regards,
