I don't know. I don't think it's too bad a thing.
A quick google on 'pdr', for example, finds scores of unique businesses
with that name (mostly in the US it seems). I don't think they're about
to share pdr.com or pdr.biz even, so diluting the top-level namespace
and making appropriate domains more accessible to them is IMHO actually
a good thing. Is there a better way to resolve this problem with our
current system?
