Geographical names are wrong because names are not paths.
I thought that was pretty much a premise of the DNS.
Perhaps the poor old .COM servers are doing the right thing,
but need a better implementation at this stage.
(Geographical names _are_ fine for institutions which really are
tied down geographically, e.g., k-12 schools and local governments.
That's about it.)
