For what it is worth I argued for removal of support for partially
qualified domain names when looking at resolving the issues in RFC
1535. "ndots" was the compromise.
I also argued for searches stopping on nodata responses.
I felt and continue to feel both of these are security issues. If
RFC 1535 came up today I believe that different decisions may have
been made but give the political climate at the time that was the
best I could get.
