The relationship between Numbering and addressing
as well as the specific nature of the address itself
has been artificially and unecessarily restricted.
Numbers can be generated in infinite sequences with
no limitation. Likewise naming schemes. My point is
that no one person or entity can control or somehow
hedge vast quanities of the character set, whether
numerically or alphabetically speaking, for profit
or simply from IAHC/ICANN/ARIN-like spite. And every
proposal on the table attempts to do just that in
one form or another. Thus the requirement to route
around any obstructions.
Numbers should be spit out without limitation. No
scarcity is possible in this regard. And charchter
sets should be dispensed in an equal spirit. We are
shackled and crippled by a mode of thought that is
outmoded. Our constance referance to the "YOURNAME.TLD"
delegation, registrar/registry, application, fees and
so on model is archaic. We can be free to choose *any*
format and it would not be much of a problem for modern
software and machines to deal with the outcome. In fact
exponentially increasing complexity is just what new
capabilites allow us to envisage. In that regard maybe
we are not that far apart. Heck you can have the
damned silly legacy structure. Personally I think it's
inefficient and rather ridiculous. I favour complete,
ground up innovation. A number associated with a set
of characters minus all the bullshif. To get to me
just enter...
