If it were possible to put that aside,
would you have any other objection to single label hostnames? I know
that at least some of the interest in new gTLDs has been expressed by
companies that like the idea of using a globally-recognized trademark as
a TLD - for example, "customerservice(_at_)ibm" (not to imply that IBM is one
of the companies that has expressed this sort of interest).
What will be the impact of having, perhaps,
1) millions of entries in the root servers, and
2) constant traffic banging on those servers?
Historically, the view has been that bloating the root servers in that way would
be very dangerous.
Counter-claims observe that .com seems to have survived with a similar storage
and traffic pattern, so why should there be a problem moving the pattern up one
level?
