Agree and let me add that, beyond the stability issue, relying on  
search engines only would lead to many fundamental rights and  
democracy concerns (I mean even more than with the current DNS system  
subject to ICANN diktat), especially given lack of transparency of  
commercial search engines criteria and market dominance by a single  
player.

I'm disappointed that Karl hasn't pointed to the source of all  
problems with current DNS scheme management: its unicity. In general,  
his booster shots on alternative DNS are most welcome -- by me at  
least;)))

Best,
Meryem
