Cool.  Off-shore oil leases bring a tidy sum.  Government is trying
to emulate private enterprise these days.  But careful when you open
this box.  It could ...  argh#$%.  Kent is right on.

In this debate we have to take care when we talk about charging for
registration, whether we are intending to:

a) cover the cost of administering a resource (such as .com)
b) trying to let a market set prices
c) trying to cover the national debt (as with spectrum auctions)

Let's just be very sure that if and when fees or prices for addresses are
agreed, that someone doesn't step up and claim the right to auction
addresses to cover the US budget deficit. There might be a few people in DC
that would think to do that.
