We use this SU-TLD in our GNS draft which is also already in the editor queue: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;datatracker.ietf.org&#x2F;doc&#x2F;draft-schanzen-gns&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;datatracker.ietf.org&#x2F;doc&#x2F;draft-schanzen-gns&#x2F;</a>

Many many years ago (late 90s) I used to use &quot;.l&quot; (dot ell), nominally meaning &#x27;local&#x27;, for this purpose, on the assumption that a legit single letter TLD wasn&#x27;t happening any time soon, and it was visually distinctive.
