Hmmm, most of the domains are a ".com". Does it really give you any
information at all?

When it is not a ".com", well, if it is a ".fr" or ".de", it gives you
something (the fact the the registrant has a link to France or
Germany) but when it is a ".tv", ".nu" or ".org", what does it give
you?

May be it would be a good idea is the TLDs had more semantics. But,
currenly, the vast majority of the domains are in a TLD with no
semantics at all.
