Description

Very short Interest names, such as / and /ndn, are not expressive enough to indicate what it's asking for.
Those Interests should be disallowed.

https://gerrit.named-data.net/3165 is an initial step toward this goal: disallow zero-component Interest names.

JeffT points out in 20160913 call that the definition of "expressiveness" is unclear, and further discussion is needed.

Zero-component Interest name is currently used in NDN-JS for connectivity checking. It should be changed to /localhop or /ndn.
Eventually connectivity checking should be implemented with Tunnel Authentication (#1285).

For information: NDNts uses /localhop/nfd/rib/list for connectivity checking.
This is chosen because it may help detecting broken UDP/IP links where IP fragments are sent by remote node but blocked through middleboxes.
