Interesting. It reminds me of the RIR which assign IP addresses
prefixes without being able to guarantee they will be routed.

I always assumed that the poor domain name registrant had only to
fight with the rules of the registrar/registry/ICANN/governement to
get his domain registered and used everywhere in the world. Now, I see
that besides registration rules (sometimes painful, see
<http://www.afnic.fr/obtenir/chartes_en>), registrants also have to
go through the filter of browser authors.
