How many domains do we want to treat special? I know this draft only asks for 8, but some of them are on ICANNs application list.
You setup clearly does something the global DNS namespace was not intended to do and while I know that this is very common (I worked in companies that used .companyname) it is not intended to be used in the global DNS namespace. So the results what happens to this queries is undefined. That is your problem. We should not make it (although we already did in some way) make it Internet community problem. I also don't think there are risks in delegation these other than the applicants will get lots of traffic. If devices get an record back or NXDomain doesn't matter in most cases. We already have seen that. We have ISPs or hotels do NXDomain redirection and some do it not very intelligent (the redirect every query). While we have lots of reports that this is bad the world has not fallen over. People moved along.
