it was at ietf-9, while jon and i were discussing the {features|flaws} of iso3166-1, that another contributor approached us and ... spoke to the unfairness, as argued by that contributor, of the armed forces of the united kingdom being excluded from the use (as registrants) of the .mil namespace.
i suggest the question is asked and answered, and as i offered slightly obliquely earlier, the policy of an agency of government committed to commercial deregulation (since the second clinton administration), in particular use of .us, may not be the policy of the government in general, nor the policy of an agency of government otherwise tasked, e.g., the department of defense.

Instead of multiple govs trying to use .gov or .mil, the best idea would be to collapse .gov under .gov.us and .mil under .mil.us
could we now put a good night kiss on the forehead of this sleepy child and let him or her dream of candy and ponies?
