Of course, I could have simply asked the question that needs to be asked, namely: why would anyone want a name to include a category anyway?
Let's remember for a moment that not all net.users are net.savvy. I think the TLDs SHOULD have a logical category structure. If I'm trying to find an educational institution, I'd expect to find it in the .edu TLD, a commercial organization in .com, etc. As I recall, that's the entire purpose in naming the TLDs as they are. While there's no real NEED for TLD consistancy, it certainly makes life easier and allows for differentiation between, for example only, Liberty.edu (being Liberty University) and Liberty.com (Liberty Mutual Insurance).
