Yes and no.  Yes, I think 6761 is broken in parts (somehow I missed discussion of the draft), however the issue I'm worried about is the proliferation of the pseudo-domains and the confusion/noise I'm worried they'll cause.

On the plus side, I suspect there would be less of an assumption that <p2p>.arpa is a regular domain name.

On the minus side, management of .ARPA is a part of the IANA functions contract which implies changes will require US DoC NTIA approval, so I'd agree that there is a potential for delays and ... non-technical discussion.

But how about .alt or .not-dns (or as has been suggested .p2p)?
