  without a doubt!  but I think that given the current price tags put on
domain names, subdomains are probably worth a few bucks despite the
inconveniences they introduce.  And once the public gets comfortable with
it, theres no going back.  An interesting example is that in the 50s, at
least in NY, phone numbers used to be written down using random letters as
well as numbers.  I would think that domains where the period separates each
english word would be worth /something/.
