If a TLD corresponding to a well-known trademark were awarded to any 
entity other than the trademark owner, there is a possibility that some 
users may be confused, or in a worst case, that the TLD might be used 
for abusive or criminal purposes. This of course depends on the string 
chosen, the policy associated with registration, etc., etc. Simply 
putting .delta into the root doesn't mean that airline consumers will be 
phished by the faucet people, vice versa, or at all.
