Just a note about this ongoing conversation: We ought to remember that names in the Domain Name System are used for purposes beyond just mapping names of World Wide Web websites. The internet is a lot more than the web, and names in a TLD can be used for lots of things beyond mapping websites. One might wonder whether TLD operators will be careful to observe or police these other uses. My own guess is that many TLD operators will not. --karl--
