One could argue that if your site has subdomains with the same name as
your top-domain, you're getting what you deserve.  One could also argue
that you're right.  There IS no reason to not allowing names like
foo.com., ASSUMING your nameserver/sendmail-equivlant knows how to
handle it.  But I guess this is along the same lines as expecting
internet sites to have a postmaster-mailbox...

G'night,
