I think it will raise security issues with phishing. Imagine someone registering .con .orgs or .couk to impersonate a .com .org or .co.uk site.
I think it raises usability issues. .com (and it's ilk) identify a particular string as being a website address. With .anything how do you know if this string even refers to a website?
I think it will create bugs in some programs that assume that URLs have only a certain small set of TLDs.
What problems does it solve?
- icebraining 14y agoTLD registration is not free-for-all like domains are. I extremely doubt ICANN will accept those. And before people claim "they will for the $200k", let me put your fears to rest: they already keep the money even if the request is denied.
