For Homenet it wasn't an alternative naming scheme, it was a "locally 
scoped only" name but still using DNS protocol.

Homenet names are expected to be user visible, but we certainly did 
*not* want them to be under .ARPA.    It was unfortunately the only
available option when the various I* bodies declined to attempt to set 
up the necessary processes and liaisons with ICANN.
