Avoiding collisions between DNS and non-DNS use of domain names is
probably important to us (to some degree that’s what we’re trying to
decide). But I have thought, and continue to think, that we make a
serious mistake if we regard it as our purpose to “say what strings in
the name space should NOT be TLDs.” The IETF delegated that
responsibility long ago to someone else, and for good reason.
I thought we were heading toward a process to identify domain names that
should not be in the DNS for engineering reasons. In practice they're
likely to be TLDs, but I can imagine hypothetical situations where someone
invents a son-of-onion under .ARPA or somewhere else.
