Yes, I didn't mean we should disallow this.  If the user wants to publish
his lightbulbs under .com, it's not our job to tell him he shouldn't.
What I was worried about was that Ted's original proposal was that he was
attempting to solve two independent and fairly doable problems with one
overly general solution that would take years to specify and implement.

I've said that before, so sorry for repeating myself: publishing a name in
the global DNS is an end-to-end application-layer issue.  If it involves
the Homenet routers or the CPEs in any way, we're doing it wrong.  The
device that wishes to be publicly named should directly contact a DNS
provider and get a lease on a suitable DNS name.  It's not rocket science,
and people like Dyn have been doing it for ages.  (By the way -- I'm not
particularly recommending Dyn's protocol, which doesn't do expiry times.)
