Stef and all,
Well Stef you have some reality problems here with this
question/suggestion.
First, .ibm (Read Dot IBM) and .ford (Read dot ford) are never going
to be excepted a registered TM's except by IBM corp, and Ford Motor
company respectively. Second, if you enter those into any Root
structure without a TM, you will be challenged legally. This would be
a very BAD move and discredit what you are attempting to achieve
in the first place.
