The whole idea that local names should look like DNS names and be 
queried through the same APIs and user interfaces seems, well, wrong (or 
dubious at best), and needs serious study for the implications of 
applications using those APIs and the impact of such names on DNS, no?

IMO, local names and a lookup service for local names would be extremely 
useful, but neither the names nor the query interface should look much 
like DNS - the names should look different because otherwise there's too 
much potential for confusion with DNS names, and the query service 
should look different because local name lookup service probably can't 
make the same kinds of consistency or stability assurances that DNS does.
