But the DNS isn't a database so why would a company want to register a
trademark in the DNS in the first place?  On the other hand, one of the
stated purposes of the .INT TLD is to hold international databases so
maybe this isn't such a bad idea. However, I would suggest that we leave
WIPO.INT for the organization's normal usage and put the Madrid Marks
database in either TM.INT or MM.INT.
