I haven’t read the latest version in a few weeks, and I must have missed the part about the “alt” TLD.   (Actually, I just checked, and my memory was correct—it isn’t there.)  My problem with the “alt” TLD as originally proposed was that there was no registry.   I think this is nearly useless.   It’s fine for experiments, but once the experiment is done, you need an allocation.   And then you have a flag day, which sucks, so why not just have an allocation to begin with?

If we want to have a special TLD under which all new non-DNS protocols will publish their names, we need a registry for it.  This doesn’t need to be very heavyweight, but it needs to exist.   I think “specification exists” is probably the bar for entry.
