	Okay, so the bigger problem is Taiwan versus China, or maybe 
Japan versus China, or maybe any other ethnic group/country that has 
issues with any other ethnic group/country.

	How about the Flemish versus the Walloons?  Shall we split up .be 
into two separate roots?  Oh, wait, there's the German-speaking 
portion in the far eastern part of the country....

	Shall we have a separate root for each and every ethnic group in the world?

	Hey, here's an idea -- everyone in the world get their own 
separate root.  Heck, let's be really silly -- let's go ahead an 
issue a separate root zone for each and every atomic particle in 
existence throughout the Universe.  That should only take up a few 
hundred bits of space in every address....

	The first step down this road is the most dangerous.  It's the 
one that seems the most plausible.  The most likely to help, and not 
to hurt.  And the next step seems pretty plausible, too.  And the 
third.  And the fourth.

	But this way lies madness.
