rfc6761 is a useful reference, but it doesn't really solve this
discussion one way or another.
It's concerned with names to be "carved off a sub-tree of the DNS
namespace in which the modified name treatment rules apply", but
single label names are already special anyway.
Well, all special names are specified in RFC 6761 and associated registry.
What RFC says that single-label names are 'special'?
In what sense 'special'?
How do you differentiate arbitrary 'single-label' from TLD in DNS?
Answers to these questions need backing from standards because all parties
doing name resolution need to do it consistently.
