If they assign .local, they will break the default for AD, especially SBS, Apple Rendezvous, anything using mDNS/Zeroconf, and a lot of other "local significance only" uses of DNS, or, which is more likely, the domains in .local will find themselves unresolvable from a very large portion of the Internet. .local should be reserved.
