It's my understanding (albeit this may change depending on Ted's work)
that it may be either.

The particular point of ".home" (or whatever) would be to provide a
"special use" domain that is known to have "homenet site local"
semantics that should leak as little as possible outside of that.

I think it would also be appropriate to add whatever name is chosen to
the BCP 163 list of "Locally Server DNS Zones" such that any queries
that do happen to leak beyond the site get sunk by the recursive
resolver that receives them.
