If we start from the position that names in this shared namespace don't need to 
be semantically meaningful to humans then this whole problem space becomes a 
whole lot easier, or perhaps doesn't even rise to the level of "problem". See 
also 98% of the work done by the ICANN community and arguably the entire 
business models of registries and registrars.

However, I don't think we are starting from that position. For example we hear 
there is demand for .giraffe for the giraffe naming system described at 
https://giraffe.org/ because using giraffe.org as an anchor for that naming 
system in the namespace is not acceptable to anybody who cares about GNS.

If giraffe.org doesn't cut the mustard then I have my doubts that 
jduxbenebrnjxudnxznbrnr.alt will satisfy anybody either.

(If giraffe.org can't be tolerated then I also don't see why giraffe.alt is an 
obvious solution, but I sense people are tired of hearing me say that so I'll 
leave it this parenthetical cloak of invisibility and continue whistling 
innocently.)
