Re: [ga] Re VeriSign/RealNames

I don't understand your message. The reason I didn't mention XTNS in my
response is because Danny's message didn't reference XTNS at all. His
comments were solely restricted to VeriSign and Realnames Keywords products.

As to you other points, I am totally mystified. We have not "made plenty of
noise about offering dotted keywords" -- in fact we have never once said
that we offer "dotted keywords" (not the least because we do not). The
namespaces we do offer are still on sale on our site and have not been
removed. Indeed they were recently enhanced by the launch of our fully
multilingual namespaces in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hebrew and Arabic. I
am thus entirely at a loss to understand any part of your message.
