        These last two.
        There should be, at a minimum IMHO, a signed
        clause that states something like:

        "Use of this domain is strictly experimental and as such
        has the following attributes:

                -It is not visable to a majority of the Internet
                -It may go away or be superceded at any time by
                 an offically delegated domain that may or may not
                 subsume any entries in this experimental domain.
                -An offically delegated domain may be run by a different
                 registry with a completly different set of registration
                 rules.
                -Any monies collected for creation of entries in
                 this experimental domain are non-refundable.

        Client is aware of these constraints and agrees to indemnify and 
        hold harmless the experimental registry."
