The tigher the *logical case ICANN can make, the less inclined a 
TM holder may be to press a case which would likely require some 
sort of substantial proof that pizza hut  had in fact lost customers 
to  pizahut, pizzzahut, pizzahouse, etc ad nauseam.   And the 
logic is, we've gotten along with these 26 characters (plus ~ = and 
_) for quite some time, sithout a hole hell of a kot of fontusion if I do 
say so.

If the court wants to decalre the public illiterate by definiton, tho, I 
suoppose these here archives ll give im  precedent.
