and just HOW are "lots of other people" going to aquire
"some social meaning"? by looking for the registry named
"us8rjdfspiiqqbgztr3f" and then finding a link that
maps "xn-feedG.cog.xn-B04s.la.ca.us." to a site that has
the best licorice recipies in the known solar system?
or are you going to outlaw strings that have no meaning for you
and some arbitary group of "other people"? a domain name has no
-NEED- to have any additional value beyond a unique mapping to
one or more IP addresses.
