I like the idea of creating a new ".tm" TLD (or something less likely
to conflict with a CCTLD), and requiring anybody who wants trademark
protection to register there; everything else is a free-for-all, as it
pretty much is now. Let them have their little trademark disputes
over there, and let less litigious heads rule in the other TLDs.
