I’d like to point out that, while this works fine in most residential settings, it’s pretty broken for multi-segment enterprise deployments.

We'll need text to strongly discourage the re-use of an existing mDNS name, since those can leak other information.  Second, we'll need text on what to do if this name can't be registered or resolved in a particular environment (not every network supports mDNS, after all).  Does it go back to the previous Mode 2 behavior, or skip private addresses entirely?  I think the right idea is "go back to the previous Mode 2 behavior" personally, but text on it one way or the other is required.
