Is stuttering the price to pay?

[werner@axone.ch (Werner Staub)]

Originally, the creation of new top level domains was 
about making them smarter and more flexible. But now:

- Why ".tm.int" when it can be ".tm"? 
- Why recommend .com.<ISO 3166> or .co.<ISO 3166> SLDs 
  when most of the names registered under that 
  ISO code are commercial anyway? 
- Why specify the same rules for all gTLDs? There are
  obvious needs for gTLDs which can be managed by
  existing transnational professional associations which
  are best placed to determine their own rules.

We (current internauts) will eventually get used to the 
stuttering of domain names and the bureaucracy needed
to get a name. But what about normal people?
They certainly didn't like X.400 email addresses.
