Ahem, so Verisign wants to change the complete working of the internet with the currently installed base because they want to gather all the typo's??? Are they going to pay us the money for upgrading/verification/checking/testing etc? Fix the Webbrowsers, which in most cases already support the functionality their 'application' gives. If Verisign wants the webbrowsing folk to use their 'sitefinder technology' then they should take a share in Microsoft, AOL, Opera and a number of other companies and pursuade them to include it. Don't change something that doesn't need fixing. (Ignoring the spam thing :) *if* Verisign gets it through that the installed base has to bend over because they introduce such a thing it would be a very bad thing for the internet as a whole and it would really mean that the internet is yet another commercial thing controlled by one single entity.
