That is the problem when a centralized technical solution relies on the legal system (and they almost always do.)
What is important is how and if will this accelerate alternate solutions for name space management.
For the WWW, an alternate solution has already been proposed and implemented. You can find an HTTP server, client and browser that function using a decentralized designation and authentication model at: http://www.waterken.com/dev/YURL/ The acceleration part depends upon the participation of others, such as yourself. The YURL model is currently being discussed in a thread that includes both the web-calculus list and the cap-talk list. You can join the web-calculus list at: http://mail.waterken.com:8080/mailman/listinfo/web-calculus and the cap-talk list at: http://www.eros-os.org/mailman/listinfo/cap-talk or we could extend the discussion to this list. The current thread is a continuation of the moderator terminated thread you may have seen on the cryptography list. This termination prevented the many misunderstandings from being addressed. You can find a FAQ on these misunderstandings at: http://www.waterken.com/dev/YURL/FAQ/ Tyler -- The union of REST and capability-based security: http://www.waterken.com/dev/Web/
