ICANN's published the final version of JAS' namespace collision report.  The
first version came out a year ago but parts of it were redacted because they
stumbled across a horrible bug in some Microsoft software and wanted to give
MS time to fix it.  The final version isn't very different other than fleshing
out some interesting details.

It says that for the most part namespace collsions aren't a big
problem, but there are significant exceptions.  It has a list of
recommendations, starting with this one:

 RECOMMENDATION 1: The TLDs .corp, .home, and .mail be referred to the
 Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for potential RFC 1918-like
 protection/treatment.

Here's the URL of the announcement with the link to the report.  The
interesting bit of the report is section 5.7 on pages 38-39:
