Subject: Why only 3 letters?

      The only argument I can see is that there may be software somewhere that will barf on anything longer than four letters (that being the current longest TLD length, for .arpa).  So avoiding 5+ letter domains might be a reasonable precaution to avoid breaking a braindead gateway from a private network to the Internet at large.
