>From the abstract: This document updates RFC6761 by requiring that the domain "localhost." and any names falling within ".localhost." resolve to loopback addresses. This would allow other specifications to join regular users in drawing the common-sense conclusions that "localhost" means "localhost", and doesn't resolve to somewhere else on the network. It's an update to RFC 6761 and all about resolution of "localhost". To me that seems like a DNS issue... and since we already have a heap of open issues with 6761, this would seem to be one more thing to consider. I should mention that Terry Manderson (INT AD) and Joel Jaeggli (OPS AD) were both in the SUNSET4 room and agreed they would have a discussion about which WG this document should live in. Both agreed that DNSOP should at least definitely look at it. Peter Koch and I both recommended from the mic that it be brought to DNSOP (which I guess I then did by posting it here). Peter also mentioned that there was a long history with the resolution around "localhost" and that this topic had been discussed at length multiple times. (I took it that he was not saying it should NOT be brought up again, but rather that the authors should be aware that it had a good bit of history.)
