Gads, wtf are they thinking? This will destroy CGI (which are looking for .??? or .?? addresses..
like.. www.mycrapsite.museum? WTH?! this is going to totally invalidate everything; no longer can we check for valid hostnames without actually pattern matching.. this is lame.. very lame.
My question is, does ICANN have any idea what they're doing? I don't think so... i mean god.. at the very least you should keep the TLDs to a 3-letter minimum! .museum!? Gads! What's the internet coming to?! I really hope that the National Telecommunications and Information Administration does not approve these top level domains... or I'll have a whine more.
