I really like .alt -- it makes it clear that this is an alternate

I agree that .p2p is a bad idea. .not-dns is worse (because it is a
negative definition). For .alt, it is cute but I suspect that
convincing the Tor people to switch to onion.alt, or to convince Apple
to switch Bonjour to local.alt, will be some work...
I agree that while I think .alt makes sense to me, what makes sense to
me is not what I expect upon others.
At that point .pony or stephane's .lolcats would make as much sense to a
similar percentage of people.
I'd almost say we should name it .rfc#### which would not only be
obvious to people who speak RFC, but would allow people to use their
google machine to look up the RFC and learn something.
