> I honestly can't think of a bigger waste of public money. Say that again when the address bar says "brought to you by Pepsi™", and every website you visit is sent to the manufacturer - like LG TVs sent filenames found on USBs back to LG. > It will cost billions and billions Mozilla spends $400+ million per year, and they've been at it for more than a decade. It already costs billions. > we will get nothing useful Even if the funding goes to Mozilla? Are Google's dollars magical? > Are you suggesting that I shouldn't be allowed to register a website name unless the content is in strict compliance with someone's web standard? I'm suggesting you keep the domain, but it doesn't resolve until the content is standard-compliant. Or, alternately, for-profit corporate and publicly-funded browsers are obligated to display a scary warning. > Do they take the domain away from me? Does the government take it? What do you find so hard to understand? Do you think the domain namespace shouldn't be managed like a public good? You're big on cynical criticism of my suggestions, but are my predictions wrong? How do you think the growing cost to develop a browser will be funded, if not by selling out? What do you think will happen? What has been happening so far?
