I'd guess that any scheme that is adopted needs to handle the
TRANSITION very, very carefully. Disruption of service is a fundamentally
Bad Thing, as I'd predict you will agree.
So, yes. If no one is using a TLD, who cares. But the instant
there is even ONE user of a TLD, what is our "social" responsibility to
ensure continuity of service (i.e., permanence of domain names)? We can
certainly be cavalier and leave the whole matter to freemarket commercial
forces, but we can also choose to require continuity. Personally, I would
wish for the latter, if feasible.
