Ah, sorry, I wasn't aware of the full extent of your crack-smoking-ness. :) You'll never get all of the root server operators to agree on this (or much of anything), so that leaves the root out (even if this were a good idea, which it isn't). Since for sufficiently useful definitions of "all," all of the TLD's are commercial entities, you'll never get them to volunteer to break their own domains, and their customers would riot if they did. Suffice it to say, this idea is never going to happen, although if it takes energy away from the "ldap is the solution to all problems" thread, feel free to keep discussing it.
