... and I have just posted a new version with the term Domain Names -
I (and I think Ted) prefer Internet Names, but our preferences are not

idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
