Thanks for making it clear that you think a single root will eventually occur.
It is clear that we have agreement even among those who do not want to
admit it that there needs to be a way to get to the point where one name
has only one resolution in any DNS service.
ICANN has proposed one way: strict regulation of entries into a single
root, no conflicts allowed.
Name.space, ORSC and others have proposed another way: first come first
served, talk until tired whenever conflicts occur.
New.net has proposed a third way: sell what you want, and hope to get so
many customers that the others won't dare challenge you.
I personally think that ICANN's way is fairer and less painful than the
other current proposals; I may be in a minority on that.
