I take it that since this is just your personal opinion, we need not discuss it any further? Forgive me, but I do not think remarks of this sort are constructive. If there is a reason why the working group consensus should not be followed, it is not that the working group's consensus on the question is "fictive," whatever that means. My opposition to .arpa, such as it is, is that it suggests a hierarchy that is not present. I think it's bad UI design, and that's why I prefer .homenet. This is not a "fictive" objection. You could argue that I am wrong, or that my opinion on the topic doesn't matter, or that even though I am right, other factors are more important, or that allowing the working group to decide matters like this is wrong, or that this is all irrelevant because we can't have it anyway. But calling it "fictive" is disrespectful of reasoned discourse, and I encourage those various folks on this thread who have made similar arguments to please try to do better. I mean no disrespect by this—I'm sure you've been on the receiving end of me making similarly bad arguments. I just felt it necessary to point out.
