How did the RFC6761 reservations happen?  Clarifying this process should
be helpful to determine this coordination.

Granted, this should be clarified as in: a new, inexistent TLD and/or
sub-domains within this TLD.

I must say I can't decide if there's a use-case for IETF to declare a
sub-domain special under an existing TLD that is already delegated by
IANA.  My brains explodes and shows "MESS" warnings.

I would not expect an amended RFC6761 to go much beyond what's already
in section 5.  Using quantitative criteria is prone to error and
imprecision and could well prevent a legitimate technology from growing:
we already know that .alt will not solve the issue of
globally-operative-name-spaces that are not suited for DNS (which is why
I proposed an informational RFC for P2PNames).  Nevertheless this global
uniqueness of names could become a criterium, since the alternative
would be covered by .alt.

- - RFC6761 does not clearly define the scope of each point in section 5.

Judging from the variety of responses to the first point about "Users"
and the overlap with "Application Software" on the one hand, and between
"Application Software" and "Name Resolution APIs and Libraries" on the
other hand, this should be clarified.  The fact that the current .onion
draft needs to mention "Applications (including proxies)" is symptomatic
.

- From my reading:
  1. Users are humans-in-front-of-Application-Software
  2. Application Software is a program-used-by-Users-or-other-programs
  3. Name Resolution APIs and Libraries are specialized parts of a
system that are concerned exclusively with *DNS* resolution, that can
run inside of an Application Software (library) or independently from it
(API).
  4. to .7 are self-explanatory.
