What's the point of having TLDs at all if they're perceived exactly the same by the public at-large?
PIR in my view is taking the correct approach in regards to "branding".
Your concern about .ORG becoming psuedo-restricted is certainly valid, but would such a situation truly be a bad thing?
If anything, such perception would likely increase .ORG registrations by various organizations that serve the "public interest" that don't have a simple domain name now; and be easier to find since many internet users over time would become conditioned to associate .ORG with public interest websites.
Perception sure beats outright restriction, such as the likes of .PRO and similar restricted TLD "backwaters". Bottom line, in my view, is that PIR has found a middle ground so to speak between unrestricted and restricted and is basically right on target in the way they are marketing .ORG
