Why ?
I want to be free to create ".free" root (4 letters root) ... and 1,257 more
roots... the only neccesary thing is to have a central point in the best
"first come first served" style... you want to put your own DNS server
managing the ".myownhome" root ??? Come and register it !
(Sorry WIPO guys ! Big company lawyers will be happy with a ton
of hours to bill to their clients ! But is this a free world or not ???? If you
have a BIG company, and a BIG NAME to take care of... then YOU
have the money to call the law, hire lawyers and sue the teenager
that came first and register the ".mydonalds" root server !
Been there... done that!
