Nothing. They don't have to. If you want a top level domain and you control your own nameservers, you've got it. But nobody else is likely to query your nameservers about it, so it won't be used by anyone else. This can actually be useful: you can define .crane for use within your house, and now you have names that nobody else will see. -dsr-
