But finally, he makes the very sensible point that what user agents really
need to do is to bring up an instant Warning to the user "you appear to be
about to send email to a non-existent TLD; do you want to continue?" If
the user persists in spite of such a warning, then on his head be it.

It doesn't need a new TLD, it doesn't impact the root servers, etc.
