And do we really want to discuss peer-to-peer networking, which as
the name suggests, peer-to-peer.

The Internet has always consisted of peer-to-peer hosts.  It seems odd
that people talk about peer-to-peer as a new feature.

...and are there similarities with those basic assumptions and those
people expected from the .com/.net domains?

thought both long and hard about those two issues.  Are your beliefs
about each compatible?
