Message:
One issue that needs to be addressed is who will be the adjudicatory body(s) in cases of conflict, and what law(s) will govern. These are exceedingly difficult issues. In trademark situations, the problem of conflicting marks can often be solved by resort to limiting the registration by classification or region, but that won't work for and inherently international multilingual internet. Furthermore, the whole point to the use of names instead of numbers in addresses is to simplify public access to a site with a "friendly" name. Adding some kind of geographic or classification limitation on the address would defeat the point of friendly addresses, as the public wouldn't understand the system.
