One could argue, though, that one of the reasons there are so many
problems, conflicts, and lapses of logic in the domain name system is
that nobody acted on concerns about these issues while they were
still theoretical, and hence more manageable and without entrenched
opposition; by the time people seriously realized there were
problems, it was too late to do anything about them.
