Okay, let's get this straight -- somebody might have a desirable name that
is too generic to trademark, yet that still has high value.  Somebody
registers, say, "veronica.org" because she is named "Veronica".  Yet NSI
would still cut off the domain name if somebody with a trademark (the comic
book company) presented it to NSI for a challenge?  No need to answer, we
know the answer is yes, NSI would cut it off.

Yes, your (NSI's) definition of cybersquatting is indeed broader than most.
