This all should have been solved by allowing those who
wanted/applied for TLDs to be granted them back in 1995 when
originally requested :

There was a procedure, people followed it, and IANA
decided to go other ways with it. Now years later there is
all this red tape restricting things.
And if the "powers that be" decide to go back to
it, you can replace stormking.com with t-b-o-h.net and I
look forward to it! ;)
