We did have some engagement with Mozilla facilitated by Jothan. But their response was for us to file a bug report. Don

The document says there is no W3C document talking about open dot. I am pretty sure you are right about that - in general W3C defers to IETF RFCs for URL definitions, having abandoned its own work on them a few years ago.
The reference for Mozilla seems to have been unchanged in 8 years, which is a long time. Do you know if anyone at Mozilla has actually looked at the issue since then? In particular, I tried changing the settings as described there, to allow the open dot, and it didn't.
