Re: [wg-c] new TLDs

ok, forget about human semantics.  forget about registrars.  let's allocate
names like AOL user names, randomly generated, almost mnemonic unique
strings.  Do it by computer.  That would be best for consumers because
there would be no human infrastructure (read stock holders) to subsidize.

Why is .gmbh.de preferable to .gmbh?
