Folks,

The IAB just issued a 'statement' on the topic:"

    IAB Statement: Dotless Domains Considered Harmful
 http://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence-reports-documents
/2013-2/iab-statement-dotless-domains-considered-harmful/

It only discusses DNS-related standards that make dotless
domains problematic.

It might help the case against dotless domains to also record
the email-related implementation problems that have been cited
on this thread.

Yes.  But, for whatever reason, it apparently didn't occur to
the IAB to either figure that out or to expose a draft of that
document or the fact that they were working on such a thing to
the community, presumably eliciting comments about the various
applications that are also affected by the topic.  If anyone
finds that disturbing, I believe the key phrase is "tell it to
the Nomcom".

:-(
