if you are concerned that completion logic is broken in resolvers
and the string "localhost" is not appended to the domain, then you
really are asking for the root servers to backstop the query with an
entry for localhost. and for the first 20 years of the DNS, there was
an entry for localhost. in many of the root servers. it was phased
out for several reasons, two key ones were DNSSEC and the fact that
most resolvers had corrected their broken completion logic. There is
no good reason to bring it back for special processing. It's just a
string.

+1.
