On the contrary. We have done it for ourselves.

We don't need it immediately. The first Firefox 3 security release will
probably be in six to eight weeks.

It's not true that we won't work on any other solution. This is what we
have now, and there have been no alternative proposals which (to my
mind) look like producing anything workable in the short term.

Half this list seems to think that getting all the TLDs to agree on or
do anything is an enterprise doomed to failure, and the other half seem
to think that we should be waiting for all the TLD operators to agree to
set up their own repositories of the data. There is a contradiction there.
