As far as I know, draft-grothoff-iesg-special-use-p2p-names is the
first attempt to actually use RFC 6761 and exercice its
procedures. But Apple already registered .local in the special
registry
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/special-use-domain-names/special-use-domain-names.xhtml>

For the record, I've reviewed
draft-grothoff-iesg-special-use-p2p-names-00, I find it well-written
and clear and I fully support it. Registering these names would be a
very good idea.
