Robert, You make, in http://www.w3.org/mid/20040506155532.93858A1FB7@frink.w3.org some very good points. I agree that the country codes are great, and I encourage anything which is definitively based on a geographic location to use them. I think that tourisim.anytown.ma.us beats anytowntourist.org in many ways. The semantics make sense, and also the delegation of authority can follow existing geographical social systems which already exist. This means that the protocol for unique names is much less stressed. I'd also be in favor of new domains is one could for example mandate the persistence of web URLs. But .mobi seems to pick on an ill-defined, transient property of anything or anyone that they be mobile. So the positive reasons do not apply.
