> I suspect that there would be fewer roadblocks involved in choosing an anchor ALT.ARPA than ALT, since ARPA is under the control of an IETF family member while the root is controlled by distant cousins. If I'm right that this proposal is for future, as-yet-unknown applications, then the choice of anchor should be arbitrary; it feels in that case like the path of least resistance is the right one.

It really shouldn't be difficult to make this work, although if .ALT is already spoken for a different name might be needed.   If it is in fact difficult, then RFC 6761 is pretty pointless.

I agree with your other point, though—this may be useful for future efforts, but doesn't address the same problem as the other two documents we've talked about.
