I am not at all keen on the address syntax proposed in this 
presentation. I much prefer a basic form of name@domain, where the 
domain is optional. I believe it is simpler and more intuitive.

I accept the three 'categories' of address though I don't think 'dns v. 
non-dns' is the right distinction between the first two. I see the 
second category as a special case where the address is only reachable 
when the receiver establishes the necessary link(s) itself.

I suggest such addresses be identified by having a domain that starts 
with (or indeed consists solely of) the '!' character, e.g. 
name@!domain. Since domain will be a common configuration option, I 
think this will likely give valuable flexibility in deployment.
