The idea of using "randomizing" sub-domain is to get people used to the idea of randomization in domain names. Then it can be moved into protocol or implementations. It also fixes the name collision and transparent introduction of multiple registries.
Wasn't that the purpose of the city.state.us naming scheme? Since local laws already account for no two entities having the same name within the same city, it would seem to solve the problem. Just wondering why we'd reinvent the wheel with randomizing domain names unless it's to serve a vendetta against the overregistration of COMs. Then again, how long did the WELL go by well.sf.ca.us before they started using well.com on all their official documents? Marketing departments want to play it safe. If some percentage of their sales leads can't remember sf.ca.us, that's lost business; that's all they see, the dollar signs getting smaller. -- Gabriel M.
