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.
Thanks for the heads-up. In my opinion, one of the problems with the
"statement" is that it is, as you mentioned above, only a discussion
about the DNS-related standards. I don't know whether the statement
considered the recommendations in SSAC report SAC053. One of the
arguments made in favor dotless domains is that it "provides
potential innovations to the domain name industry and new gTLD
applicants". All this is driven by the "web" at the expense of other
application protocols. I guess that it is worth a try to record the
email-related implementation problems.
