Course not. :-) Notwithstanding that, globally resolvable valid DNS names *with no dots in them* are going to break a fair amount of software which assumes that's an invalid case, and that is in fact a *different* situation, not triggered by the expansion of the *generic* gTLD space. So, like DRC, your response isn't to my actual point. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
