And your technical solution to ensure "http://apple/" always resolves to "apple." and doesn't break people using "http://apple/" to reach "http://apple.example.net/" is?Whatever people have been doing for the past decade to deal with http://dk/ and http://bi/. As I think I said in fairly easy to understand language, this is not a new problem. I am not thrilled about lots of new TLDs, but it is silly to claim that they present any new technical problems.
There is a big difference between a handful of tld breaking the rules, by making simple hostnames resolve to addresses in the DNS, and thousands of companies wanting the rules re-written because they have purchased "<tm>." and want to be able to use "user@tm" reliably. Simple host names, as global identifiers, where phase out in the 1980's for good reasons. Those reasons are still relevant. Mark
