Seems that there are a fair number of Internet sites that still don't
grok .edu and .com addresses for sites that are not physically on the
Internet (i.e. they don't query a name server or pass messages to
somebody else).

Has some sort of a deadline been set?

No.  No deadline has been set.  As a matter of fact the methodology
for properly handling name server mail records for non-internet hosts
was rather recently redefined and still has at least one degenerate case
in it.

I'd expect expect this to be a rather hot topic at the Internet Engineering
Task Force meeting in Palo Alto next week.
