RE: [ga] new TLDs

[James Love <love@cptech.org>]

If there are only a few .com clones, then one might expect a lot of
companies just registering more of the same in the new TLDs.  If the
root is really expanded, as it should be, then one would expect
something different, particularly with TLD string that either mean
something by their name (i.e. .airline, .software, .soccer, .books,
etc), or are restricted (.union, .banc, etc).
