If this remains, the IAB [1] might have some things to say about the use of the global namespace. It seems like in terms of names, .local is a better fit for your use case. Though I suspect that you are looking for something more than just the right name to give the thing. There's the question of how this thing might be authenticated, for instance - which I see you have some thoughts on already. On that broader topic, you are right that this is possibly the same problem as other groups are facing. I can't claim to have a good answer, though I have heard MANY ideas. Your assumed model (preprovisioning certificates if I understand it) might make your particular situation different enough that it doesn't run afoul of the standard set of issues with authenticating local services, just the standard set of preprovisioning problems.
