RE: unqualified domains, was ICANN to allow commercial gTLDs

The failure rate isn't going to be high enough for natural selection to take effect. Remember the protocols we use were designed to work back when there was only a single flat namespace. Simple hostnames will appear to work fine for 99.999% of people. It's just when you get namespace collisions that there will be problems.
I would guess that most of these are going to be purchased simply to prevent someone else from getting them and that most of them will never actually be placed into production. So it will basically just be a cash cow for ICANN while people pay their $185K/pop "application fee" to snap up a piece of real estate they don't want anyone else to have.
