>>>Why not let many flowers bloom, the market would soon determine which endings were popular and more endings would bring down resale prices.<<<

I would guess that bringing down the resale market and devaluing the .com is not a goal of Afilias, who seems to hold ICANN (at least the preparers of the application review) in the palm of their hand.
Devaluing the resale market would hurt Verisign & Register.com (part of Afilias), who own GreatDomains.com and Afternic.com, the two largest resale sites in the world.
Did you know Register.com bought Afternic.com (the resale site) for $41 million eariler this year?
And NSI isn't illegally holding those expired domain names because it hopes they'll lose value...
