If we define DNS names as "domain names that are intended to be used with DNS resolution, either in the global DNS or in some other context", would that help? > "Names that look like DNS names" as if 7j3ncmar4jm2r3e7.onion was > maliciously trying to look like a DNS name. I don't think there is any connotation of malice there, and if you think there is I'd like you to point to the text that causes it. > separated by dots in the text form).

Good idea (though I don't know why 1034's age has anything to do with it). > * questionable terms like "pseudo-TLD" (.onion is not more pseudo than > .xxx or .pizza) We actually define "pseudo-TLD", and it wasn't our coinage. But do you have another term that would denote those domain names that are TLDs but that are not DNS names? (Since xxx is actually delegated, I think that onion _is_ more pseudo than xxx. That's the point of this term, but I don't care if we call it "skippy the wonder dog" as long as we have a term.) > Also, there is a clear lack of rationale such as the sentence "This > document provides a solution that may be more appropriate than > [RFC6761] in many cases." which does not say why it would be "more > appropriate" and in which cases. Some people really wanted that vague promise, so it's in there. But I don't care whether we remove it. Does anyone? > I do not understand the sentence "The authors understand that there is > much politics surrounding the delegation of a new TLD and thank the > ICANN liaison in advance."
