It was unsatisfying to everyone, but deemed better than the nothing that we had before this. It would be grand if someone (more likely the IAB than the IESG) pulled together a work team to answer "what is a name, really, when you think hard about it?" Domain names would be a subset of this (if there was a usable answer). > It potentially defines things that I > wouldn't consider domain names.
