That's a reasonable thing to do but you never provided a way to
implement it. At the present time, there are two different ".home" and
two different ".mp3" in wide use in various alternative roots. Who
will say which one is to be dropped? And how will it enforce it?

If there is a body in charge of this enforcement, congratulations, you
have invented a new ICANN and we have one root again.

If you rely on the good will and coordination of the root operators,
may I say that the lessons of the history push me towards pessimisim?
