I propose that we use something like:
          THING.hn.arpa

Where THING is the local translation of "home".  
I'm open to something other than hn (HomeNet), but it has to be really short.
If we could get away with h.arpa, that would be cool too.

Thus:
        home.hn.arpa
        ホーム.hn.arpa
        maison.hn.arpa

الصفحة الرئيسية.hn.arpa

Well, the last one is supposed to be arabic, assuming that google translate worked, and my emacs's mixed left/right, and right/left stuff worked right, and my  MUA all do the right thing.
