Honestly I think while confusing, this will ultimately not wind up being a big deal. As it is, I have spotted literally hundreds of accidental links across the internet, caused by ccTLDs and gTLDs. Any time someone ends a sentence with a period and doesn't put a space after it it's extremely easy for it to become an accidental link.it isn't that hard to imagine :)
Doesn't necessarily mean it's great for ICANN to be granting all of these dumb top-level domain names, but it is a stronger argument against aggressive autolinking. It's always been crappy behavior anyways.
