.onion was already under consideration under other drafts, but now there is a 
request specifically for .onion alleging time sensitiveness. But on the 
TLD-level, the only possibility of it becoming a response different from 
NXDOMAIN is a possible new gTLD round, something that is many years in the 
future... so the point for a .onion-specific work instead of it becoming part 
of a larger effort still escapes me.
