[ga] Do we need TLDs at all?

[gavin.stokes@autodesk.com]

Maybe this is a technical question, but the collision discussion prompted it:

Is there a reason that we can't have any old string as the last component of a domain name?  Does the administration of various name servers require a finite collection of TLDs?

If the intended meaning of many TLDs is not being enforced (or isn't enforceable), why have a limited set of them?

Regards,
Gavin
