1. It's strange that so many months of discussion and debate about this 
elsewhere missed such an obvious and complete solution.

2. Who is the authority that decides whether a TLD uses an acceptable policy?

3. How does this apply to subordinate domains that might or might not enforce 
"acceptable" policies, given that no all policy-making is at the TLD level?
