I am -- these are my premises.  I lived far too long in the uucp world 
to enjoy non-unique names; they led to nothing but trouble.

Some of the other requirements are security requirements, and that's 
what I do for a living. 

I agree that the current DNS has serious problems, most notably in the 
trademark sphere.  That doesn't mean that its other premises are wrong; 
there are other navigational systems that yield unique results besides 
treees.
