Quoting Aristedes Maniatis on Tuesday November 21, 2000:
| My proposal might not be perfect, but I doubt this is its major problem.
| What characters can be registered in a business/company name that would pose
| problems to the DNS?
| 
| I know from personal experience that the registries do not consider "I.S.H."
| and "ISH" as far enough apart to allow them both to be registered. So full
| stops could be disregarded.

Under your proposal then, Telstra would need to be 
telstra-corporation-limited.firm.au or some such, given that is 
its full legal entity name? If not, how do you deal with companies 
doing abbreviations and resulting in a conflict?
