Referencing one side and including the other side's response
verbatim isn't precisely balanced...  I'd suggest we move the
incident outside the actual table, with language like this:

	There is little anecdotal evidence available on actual
	experiences made with proxy and similar services.  One
	incident which has received some attention is the
	<a>re-code.com</a> incident.  The domain name had been
	registered using Domains By Proxy; pseudonymity of the
	registrant was lifted upon receipt of a <a>cease and desist
	letter</a> from Wal-Mart. <a>Discussion in Wendy Seltzer's
	web log</a>; <a>discussion on nettime-l</a>; <a>response
	from Domains By Proxy</a>.

"response from Domains By Proxy" would be a link to a statement from
domains by proxy.  (If the statement of the basic facts isn't
accurate, then that can and should of course be fixed in the main
document.)

Noted.  Apologies.

Can I leave it to you to quickly get that response?
