I still believe that .alt should be for non-DNS names only -- if they
happen to leak into the DNS, this is an error / failure -- the purpose
of having .alt as a locally served zone is to preserve the privacy of
the queries, not to over-ride them to some other local DNS name.

For DNS names, I think that there should be a *different* string (and
a different document) -- they have different meanings / behaviors.

I don't think I've seen a good argument for NOT doing the above -- why
(other thabn the sunk time / effort) don't we do two?

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
