Agree.
because alt is .. too desireable by others with different intent, in the real world.
It is also too unclear even to people who think it means "alternative": this name is an alternative to what? That's the same problem that the label had in the Usenet days.
(I didn't mean >not-dns<)
Good, I had the same concern that Warren did.
the advantage of the unicode choice, was purely that it avoided semantic meaning and was unlikely to be chosen. But I did also hope, that it would terminate in DNS of older code. A useful side-effect.
Not at all: it would just cause people who might get value from the new name not to use it. I agree with Warren: we want this name to feel like a first-class label.
