So of course they're in favor of .mobi and .info and .pro and
as many more variations as possible, because every time another
one is launched, they get to do this all over again.

But this whole thing only works if new TLDs are relatively rare.  If
they aren't, the whole scheme breaks down.

But now, they're going to add .foobar in ascii, and the cyrillic (possibbly
different renderings if the word for 'foobar' is different in different
countries - consider .truck and .lorry), and Mandarin, and kanji, and all
hell breaks loose in India,,,,  So we'll be adding them 20 or 30 at a
shit...
