That will INCREASE the number of court cases where a big player accuses
a little player of trademark infringement because he's using some obscure
word like "apple" or "window".
Case in point:
[smcmahon@qward smcmahon]$ whois apple
[whois.crsnic.net]

And it'll be even worse if we're doing DNS that way, because if I'm looking
for Apple Records and I type "apple", I won't get it unless EVERYTHING
with "apple" in it shows up, not just the ones with
(whitespace)apple(whitespace).
