The name of the game is you create it, you set your own rules.  The United
States Gov't was involved w/ the Internet before people thought about it
being more than just a US gov't system.

As far as the SOA, someone probably copied and pasted another SOA not
really knowing what they were doing (or copied pasted, saved, modified,
forgot to hit save).
