No, the argument here is much more fundamental. Your
namespace constitutes a shared language, which you use
to talk about resources with other people.
The only reason I can see to use .free is to leverage
public recognition of the DNS namespace. Millions of people
have made that tiny perceptual shift which allows them to
think of "www.xyz.com" as a "place". I suspect that using
.free would give naive users a better sense of "location".
(Sorry if my explanation seems fuzzy, I hope you know what
I mean.)
But overall, I'm happier with KSK's 8-)
I think it's silly to make it look as if the Freenet
namespace is tacked onto the DNS namespace; they're disjoint.
Cheers,
Blair.
