I hope they've considered what will happen if you go to
http://localhost/ or
http://pcname/

Is that the local networks pcname, or the gTld pcname?
Are we going to have to start using a specially reserved .local gTld?

No, of *course* ICANN didn't give any engineering thought to it.  Cause the
engineers?  Are all *here*.  And David Conrad's apparently the only guy
who's heard about it.  :-)
