Re: "another dns scheme for yggdrasil and just clearnet ipv6 too."
true, i forgot about meship.
i think because, mostly, MattJ was thinking about xmpp servers, and xmpp servers may need subdomains for mucs and file uploads, for pubsub, etc.
so in MattJ's spec if there's a subdomain, the domain is still translated to the same ip.
plus, my understanding is that the idea is to be compliant with rfc 9476.
let's say both yggns and alfis use same .ygg tld.
one of them or someone else may register such a .tld one day. so there will be a name conflict.
with .alt that should not happen because .alt is designed exactly for our use case.

still you gave me an idea, perhaps i need to add an optional meship resolver feature to rn.

Guess I'll need to hack meshnamed to also resolve .v6.alt...

No, but I run it for myself as part of my Lovecraftian DNS structure (dnsmasq, dnscrypt-proxy, alfis, dnsdist, meshnamed...) so might as well send in a PR, should only be a few lines.

another dns scheme for yggdrasil and just clearnet ipv6 too. — so it all started with [https link] this prosody plugin. [https link] see its readme. it infers the domain from the ipv6. and that domain also can be converted back to ipv6. the plugin was written for prosody, and it is fun, i setup an xmpp server on my pinephone, i have an account on it, and i am even able to federate with other xmpp servers that have enabled the same plugin. folks from yggdrasil muc even managed to setup...
