Amen.

1. but the problem does not result from multiple root server systems, it 
results from TLD collisions
2. I may quote - and I am sure that he will want to repeat it if you ask 
him - Vint acknowledging that such a collision was created by his ".biz". I 
documented the e-mail case and he responded about web access case too.

This is IETF and only technical aspects counts. It rises however the 
following question: in reporting the DoC their support for their ".biz" to 
be included ino the arpa root, ICANN BoD did not reported that technical 
risk. Due to the technical consequence quoted here (I suppose everyone 
agree) should the IETF have not warned the DoC, so they might decide with a 
full knowldege of the technial terms?
