I understood the "semantics of shapes". What I struggled to understand, again, is how that doesn't apply to other domains as well. And I know I'm not a very bright person, but it shouldn't be something hard to explain succinctly. From what I understand now, you argument is based on historical precedent: TLDs are different because they were treated differently (as general taxonomies, whereas domains of other levels were not) before the ICANN money-grab. Fair enough. I don't find it convincing, but then again conservative arguments rarely appeal to me.
