Actually the roots the same or abstracts of the same real root (all
the TLDs). This is why coopetition seems better. Also, the
coopetition is not between roots (as files) but between Root
Services, which should strive for something ICANN ignore competition
for quality.
URLs become worthless when you can't find the domains because the
roots use competing TLDs. The only roots with value are those that
are RFC 2826 compliant and don't create collisions - like ICANN.
I was puzzled by the mail Karl felt necessary to send to Roberto. It
seems that I was wrong kidding Roberto : he genuinely does not know
what is an inclusive/open root and has been intoxicated by the ICANN
technical confusion with TLD conflicts. Apologies to Roberto: I
really wish ICANN would be as careful at avoiding TLD conflicts as
the open root community is, in spite of its limited resources.
In 30 years dealing with the International Network list, the only
person I know of who purposely ever created a TLD conflict is Vint with .biz.
