I agree with Forrest. At least to the extent that a dot is better. But
small inconspicuous characters at the start are liable to get lost, so I
have changed my proposed syntax to

   ...!site.example.com..MISMATCH!...

which was another of Forrest's suggestions. That way we are safe if ICANN
goes mad and envents a MISMATCH TLD.

And it will be immediately recognizable by anybody who is familiar with
the current Diablo usage.

Richard I think. It was a comment by Russ that set me to propose SEEN
a few weeks back.
