The whois information indicates that this immensely patriotic attempt is being operated out of the UK. [The quoted statement above is all I could find on the site about how this TLD is supposed to work. The failure to make a fuller disclosure as to how this TLD will (and especially will not!) resolve compares poorly with the actions of more ethical alternate root operators, and strikes me as a fairly serious potential problem under the consumer law of many countries. So too does the fairly transparent attempt to cause confusion with the .us domain. Although I'm not a UK lawyer, I wonder what the UK Office of Fair Trading would have to say about it all?-mf]
