hello,

I think we have a different view of what Robert meant by decentralisation.

You still have a centralised "controller of the root".  My thinking
was that Robert meant seperate roots.

This is just adding more TLDs, 

.abba
.animal
.
.
.betting
.boating
.
.

Unless you want to get away from .com, .net, etc. In which case, you
are just replacing one level of hierarchy with another.  The ccTLD
folk would be hopping mad, and the registry/registrar folks would sue
everybody involved.

I guess anything is possible, but some things are just not likely ;-).
