Same old
arguments we’ve heard thousands of times before. Where has
he been? It’s sad that so many technical people think that
they have a God-given right to impose their own
idiosyncratic notions of what names are allowable on the
rest of us. Tim Berners-Lee once made a similar argument to
me and after some back and forth he was forced to admit that
his view was largely aesthetic. He didn’t think it was nice
to “clutter up” the Top level. So BFD, Tim and Tom, a
distributed, decentralized medium evolves in messy ways –
love it or leave it.
