This is what the Alternic's theory is. Though you might like the idea of
different microsoft.com's existing around the world, or maybe not since
they could sue people. But let's say for my domain, I would dislike it
if some detractor setup a www.ml.org imitation site which people could
actually access through a given registry. Names should remain
authorative. There is only one something.something. If there isn't, we
should all just use IP numbers again.
