the how-to-label problem has been around since the w3c's pics effort.

the jurisdictional issue is aterritorial, as the cctlds cover that,
and the authority, nominally, is a 501(c)(3) in marina del rey, and,
purely contractual, as is the registry restricted to cooperative entities
and the registry restricted to aviation entities.

we are spared having to contest .xxx registrants who failed to meet the
terms of the sponsored tld -- intolerably bland content.
