The reverse problem is more difficult to deal with -- that of people wanting to access Chinese (or whatever) sites that can only be found in the Chinese-owned alternative root.There was a time when email service was almost universally bundled with Internet access service. Nowadays it is quite common for people to get their email service from a different supplier than their access. There is no reason why DNS resolution could not similarly be unbundled from access.
1. Security ("man-in-the-middle"). 2. Common interoperability. 3. *Common sense.* [Erm, oh yeah, perhaps I shouldn't feed the troll. After all, this is the same guy who thinks that resurrecting the long dead concept of source routed e-mail is scalable.] You really should read RFC2826 sometime. It's quite short, as RFCs go.
If the Internet is to become a global universal network then, by definition, it must become balkanized.
Fragmenting the namespace with "alternate" TLDs, breaking common interoperability, is hardly a path to "universal." BZZZT, try again. -- -- Todd Vierling <tv () duh org> <tv () pobox com> <todd () vierling name>
