That IAB statement isn't itself a standard, but it references several
standards. It even quotes RFC 3397 as saying:

 [2]   Resolve a name that contains any dots by first trying it as an
       FQDN and if that fails, with the local domain name (or
       searchlist if specified) appended.

 [3]   Resolve a name containing no dots by appending with the
       searchlist right away, but once again, no implicit searchlists
       should be used.

The name "dk." contains one dot, while "dk" contains no dots. According
to the quoted rules those two shall be resolved differently. "dk."
shall be treated as a fully qualified domain name. Now people are
saying in this thread that systemd-resolved treats both as local names
and doesn't even try to look them up in DNS. So does systemd-resolved
comply with this standard or not?
