ICANN are running a consultation on the wisdom or otherwise of permitting A (and AAAA) records at the top level of the DNS: https://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/sac053-dotless-domains-24aug12-en.htm I propose that Mozilla submit comments saying what a terrible idea this is. Something along these lines: http://forum.icann.org/lists/sac053-dotless-domains/msg00029.html Is anyone interested in drafting something, perhaps taking inspiration from comments submitted by others? I would expect it to cover the unreliability and security concerns arising from the conflict with the use of dotless names as internal names. For bonus points, talk about the problems with creating TLS certificates for dotless names. Gerv
