Of your concerns (which I don't have the relevant experience to comment
on in detail), this seems to be fairly small and speculative to me.
Time will tell.
it is certainly speculative. but I do recall considerable past interest
in "keywords" and a widespread desire to have DNS support them. I doubt
that interest has waned.
and I'm not very business minded - but I don't think I'd have much
trouble finding a thousand different English words that would be worth
far more than $100K each if I could arrange for people to be able to
type those words into a browser and reliably get back a web page of my
choosing. if it's a no-brainer for me, how much easier will it be for
someone who actually cares about making lots of money and doesn't mind
screwing up the DNS root?
