Same with Canada and .ca, Iran with an .ir, .be can continue giving away
domain names to their hearts content.
The tld system was setup that way for a reason, as far as I know. I see
no reason to change it.
What happens when Canada starts giving away .cool domains? When Iran
starts giving away domains in .jihad? Switzerland and .chocolate?
Columbia and .cocaine and .coffee?
They can't can they ?
You still need to contact the root-servers to find out "who's
responsible for .cool" and if the root-servers refuse to tell you,
you'll never know
I exercised some software from my wife's Windows machine over the
weekend that added some new TLD's, but I guess the driver just
intercepts those DNS requests and redirects them if anyone was stupid
enough to want to look them up.
So to support these new TLD's, you need a list of root-servers to
contact to find out who has the domain...
