I'd rather see .gov (and by implication, .edu) usage phased out and replaced by country-specific domain names (e.g. fed.us). imo, the better way to fix an anachronism is not to bend the rules so the offenders are not so offensive, but to bring the offenders into compliance with the current rules.
Bad idea. I'm betting we'd find half of gov web sites down due to not being able to reboot and issues in old coldfusion and IIS and the like (and needing to fix static links and testing etc). No, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
