... 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.
