Statements against new.net?

If the Commerce Department ruled that new.net threatened the very core of
how the Internet works (which it does -- resolver libraries and nameservers
were written to the spec, and the spec said that ONE zone was owned and
managed by ONE entity -- and multiple root zones were never included in that
concept), then I could see it legally working.

But what if a quasi-government organization (ICANN) explicitly blessed
the concept of banning alternate roots :-) Now there is a can of
worms...
