Icann, voted unanimously to relax the strict rules on so-called
"top-level" domain names...
Under the new plans, domain names can be based on any string of letters,
in any script.
Individuals will be able to register a domain based on their own name,
for example, as long as they can show a "business plan and technical
capacity".
I wonder how long before we start seeing domains like
http://nike.shoes
and the like. I wonder how many email and domain parsing scripts this is
going to break, especially domain names with asian and arabic characters.
