Everyone, large and small, has to be treated as equally as possible.

As far as I know, there is no 'congestion' on the 800-namespace. maybe, one of the reasons is that these 'records' have a fixed, 7-digit length, and 'vanity' numbers have the same length as ugly ones, spreading the load. Maybe we should enforce a minimum length on any complete domain name? Geert Jan
