Not where I come from.

Coke is a term for carbonated coal, or charcoal.

From http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/epns/ipcs2106.html

"The pyrollysis, carbonisation, distillation, liquefaction, partial
oxidation or other heat treatment of coal, lignite, oil, other carbonaceous
material (as defined in Section 1.1) or mixtures thereof otherwise than
with a view to gasification or making of charcoal".

This predates the theft of this term by the Coca-Cola Company by a good
many decades, if not a full century.

barcelona.com stolen, stmoritz.com stays. What's uniform about the UDRP?
We could ask ICANN to send WIPO a clue, but do they have any to spare?
