Milton,

why don't you get back to suggesting other coordinating mechanisms, rather 
than whacking the strawman that Crispin's draft is only saying that 
collisions are bad?

You demurred from my claim that we agree that uncoordinated roots are bad 
(short version of previous thread).

Yet I have not seen a *single* proposal for a coordinating mechanism from 
you, apart from the "standards competition" that *will* assuredly lead to 
collisions in the short run (as evidenced by new.net), and therefore will 
lead directly to the problems that Crispin's draft set out to describe.

Standards competition will lead to collisions.
