Yep. In addition, it would probably result in the non-trivial political and 
economic forces endemic to ICANN interested in blocking a name (for whatever 
reason) redirecting their energies to the IESG (or whoever the IETF decides 
"we" are). After all, if they can't legitimately block a name through the ICANN 
processes, they'd get one last bite at the apple at the IETF.

I'm guessing this probably isn't what folks in the IETF would want.
