There are folks on this list who work for ISPs which are doing wildcards/synthesis/etc. They (or, more likely their management) can tell you there are obvious business reasons why they do wildcards/synthesis/etc. Perhaps I'm overly cynical, but I suspect that until those business reasons go away, shining a flash light will probably just result in more ISPs implementing wildcards/synthesis/etc.
That's a disagreement we'll have to have. Anytime this issue has been brought up in a public setting (here, slashdot, etc.) has resulted in terrible press and even corrective action. In particular, Network Solutions' attempt to at this at the .com level was corrected. Of course I don't know what, if any, ICANN pressure has to do with that, but the flash light practice was apparently successful. -- Dan White
