Even fixing the issue in another IETF specification could prove sticky,
because it can be argued that the IANA has authority over the allocation of
new TLDs such as ".local" not the IETF,
Not so. Under exception (a) of clause 4.3 of RFC 2860, the IETF can require
IANA to reserve such a pseudo-TLD. If anybody thinks we should do so, feel free
to write a short draft.
The advantage of doing so would be that operational recommendations for
special handling of this pseudo-TLD by resolvers could then be made.
