If it were possible to put that aside, would you have any other objection to single label hostnames? I know that at least some of the interest in new gTLDs has been expressed by companies that like the idea of using a globally-recognized trademark as a TLD - for example, "customerservice@ibm" (not to imply that IBM is one of the companies that has expressed this sort of interest).

What will be the impact of having, perhaps,

  1)  millions of entries in the root servers, and

  2)  constant traffic banging on those servers?

Historically, the view has been that bloating the root servers in that way would be very dangerous.

Counter-claims observe that .com seems to have survived with a similar storage and traffic pattern, so why should there be a problem moving the pattern up one level?
