Dear Kim

I think you are right that there are instances like this but I don't know
how widespread it is.  But, I think there is an effort to align these
things.  I could be wrong though.

This whole issues is about straigning at gnats.  In the main the thing seems
to work acceptably well, it is only when we get at the fringes that it all
falls apart.

But, I suppose if we on chipping at the block of stone it will get round.

Quoting Adrian Stephan on Friday December 21, 2001:

quite
| simple to fix the RBNs:  xxxvic, xxxnsw, xxxtas, etc.

I don't know the specifics, but the ASIC test for duplication between
RBNs and ACNs is flawed (or not uniformly applied across all states).
Just recounting my own experience:

  * I applied for 'Cynosure' as a business name in Western
    Australia in 1995, and it was rejected on the grounds there
    was a Cynosure P/L.
  * Cynosure P/L was deactivated in 1997.
  * I applied again in 2000 with a rejection on the same grounds.
  * 'Cynosure' was allocated as an RBN in Victoria in 2001.
    Presumably I would still be rejected.

On the suffix idea, I'm not sure how desirable that would be for RBN
holders.
