And it tremendously simplifies the issue of synchronization in shared 
domains, as well.

In some of the early shared TLD discussions people were insisting 
that domains should be enabled in what seems to me an absurdly short 
time -- less than an hour.  We have seen similar sentiments expressed 
on this list.  I have never seen any realistic business necessity 
that demanded short turnaround time on the creation of domain names.  
Thirty days might seem like a long time, but my (admittedly somewhat 
limited experience) is that, in setting up a business that really 
warrants its own name, thirty days flashed by invisibly, compared to 
other delays I experienced.
