As someone with a WWW site hit by Brexit where half the country voted to stop me having my domain name (and some other things) I read this with interest to consider how badly it would be caught out on the sort of false positive where a WWW site owner has to change ASes, change HTTP servers, set up redirects and meta information for the time left before eu. becomes unavailable, and even change DNS servers let alone a number of resource records. A lot of those seem to be things that will add up in this model. As would the fact that my prior domain name is today parked. In Canada! Not the first sudden and unwelcome discontinuity, either. Google came close to thinking that I was dead, and turned out when I recently checked to be still looking for me under eu., years after the fact. And with a broader view, this sort of stuff happens to the world, and there are enough people in the same boat that it is worth thinking of false positives when major upheavals occur. They can range from ISPs just up and deciding to close up shop with zero notice (which also happened to me) to international geopolitical upheavals. Who knows! If Brexit happened, it is conceivable that one day, the island of Niue might eventually prevail and then decide overnight that non-Niue citizens may not own a nu. domain.
