Re: [wg-c] So why not name.space style? [was suggestion from slashdot]

["Christopher Ambler" <cambler@iodesign.com>]

Two problems:

1. NSI would never agree to it. If they don't agree, it's not fair (and
probably
not legal) to make new registries have to follow it. Convince NSI to agree,
and it can be done.

2. It's not technically feasible right now, the way the system works. This
is
a weaker reason, as the system could be changed. But for now, it's not.
