My recollection (check the archives of the ianaplan list) is that
while we saw no reason not to transfer the IANA trademark and domain
name to the IETF Trust, there were more important issues.  Or to look
at it from the other direction, if the situation with some insane
son-of-ICANN got so bad that there were competing protocol or address
registries, the name of the web site would be the least of our
problems.
