I use a local subset of a TLD I own. There is NO risk of some surprise happening as a consequence of ICANN delegating a new TLD. I seem to recall there being a problem when the new gTLDs came along where printers (HP, most likely) started pinging at outside names because "that would never happen" wound up happening. It sure would be nice if ICANN or IETF were to declare a TLD or three as being the TLD equivalent to "non-routable local private IPs" like 192.168.*.*, but this hasn't happened. -- When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
