        re: RFC 2826
          requirement for a "globally
            unique public name space," I would think that could have
            several different technical solutions beyond a single root.
            The Google & Amazon clouds and worldwide distributed
            databases show many possibilities, I would think.  Two occur
            to this layman:
        

        Roots
            that regularly update each other, so that both have the same
            data. 
      
    
    Which one is authoritative when they disagree? I.e., which root is
    allowed to add entries?

    
    If it's always ICANN's, then you have just a root cache. That's not
    an issue.

    
    If it's ever the other root, then you end up with the problem in
    that RFC of having multiple name spaces.
