I just wish I had been able to convince Paul to remove support for partially qualified names back when RFC 1535 came out. We knew then that they were a bad idea. ndots minimises the damage of using partially qualified names. It doesn't remove it.
The real fix is make the resolver libraries not append search lists entries to names with multiple labels. Yes, people need to type slightly long names or add more search list entries. Yes there will be some pain but it is something better done sooner rather than later.
