That's not how I would state it.   I think handling of "foo." is something that IETF can define, but handling of "foo" is probably better left undefined.

And honestly I don't see why handling of non-DNS names like "foo" is in scope for MIF.    

As for lookup of DNS names, results of DNS lookup on any interface should be considered valid for all interfaces.

Actually, it's the other way around.  "foo." is already an FQDN and shouldn't be subject to any search lists.  The behavior of lookups of "foo" is implementation dependent, but it's common practice to subject it to searching.
