it is certainly speculative.  but I do recall considerable past interest 
in "keywords" and a widespread desire to have DNS support them.  I doubt 
that interest has waned.

and I'm not very business minded - but I don't think I'd have much 
trouble finding a thousand different English words that would be worth 
far more than $100K each if I could arrange for people to be able to 
type those words into a browser and reliably get back a web page of my 
choosing.  if it's a no-brainer for me, how much easier will it be for 
someone who actually cares about making lots of money and doesn't mind 
screwing up the DNS root?
