An article on slashdot just pointed out this is in 
violation of RFC 2156


           Excerpt from RFC 2146:

                C) Subsidiary, non-autonomous components of
                top-level or other entities are not eligible for
                separate registration. International organizations
                listed in this document are NOT eligible for
                registration under .GOV. Subsidiary components
                should register as third-level domains under their
                parent organization. Other Federal entities may
                apply to the FED.US domain."
