And *that* is just a tad disingenuous itself. If you have 1 alternate root that tracks ICANN's dozen-ish TLDs and the country-code TLDs, and then adds 2-3 dozen of its own, there's little room for amusement. If however, you have a Turkish root that tracks ICANN's dozen, and then adds 50 or 60 of its own, and a Chinese root that tracks ICANN's dozen, and then adds 75 or 100 of its own, it becomes interesting to watch a Turkish user try to reach one of those 75 Chinese TLDs, or the Chinese user try to reach one of the 50 Turkish additions, or either of those users trying to reach the *.special-sauce domain the first alternate root created. A collision isn't the only failure mode to worry about.... Attachment:
