Hi Tom,

But seriously: I don't see in the RFC that it is forbidden to have a
hostname directly in the root-zone (without a internal dot).
From RFC 921:
"The names are being changed from simple names, or globally unique
strings, to structured names, where each component name is unique
only with respect to the superior component name."
"Because of the growth of the Internet, structured names (or
domain style names) have been introduced. Each element of the
structured name will be a character string (with the same
constraints that previously applied to the simple names). The
elements (or components) of the structured names are separated
with periods, and the elements are written from the most
specific on the left to the most general on the right."
The above discusses about hierarchical names. It is about how the
system was designed to work and not about what is forbidden. The
syntax of a legal Internet host name was specified in RFC-952,
updated by RFC 1123.
