And use that string in any name switch code. Strong dissensus here. The problem is there is no safe way to have AND KEEP such a name. You depend on the registry's policy, which may suit you or not, and, if the registry uses RRR, you depend on the registrar's behavior. One mistake by Go Daddy or Network Solutions and you lose your namespace. One complaint to a private "court" such as UDRP and you lose your namespace. It may work for a big company like Sun with a lot of lawyers. It does not for the typical free software project such as .onion or the people in the queue (.gnu, .bit, etc). _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
