I was talking about public perception and the ability to change it
through marketing; not any actual security.
It's like the difference between ".com" and ".biz", "people" don't
understand when something isn't a ".com" and don't trust it. When I
say "people" I'm talking about the average non-technical consumer.
That is all.
I do think that this breaks more than it's worth, and while it will
mean a short-term revenue boost, it doesn't seem very scaleable nor in
the long-term interest of DNS on the whole.
It sounds like we're beginning the process of migrating to AOL
keywords; I wonder if AOL has a patent on it...
