It's rare because the registration machinery is broken.  But if it
ever gets unbroken, +//Company might take off, in which case it
would be well to be prepared.  ("Make no little plans; they
have no power to fire men's blood...")

(I think "+//IDN example.com..." is severely broken because of the
lack of dates.)

Still, it's a small point and I could live without it.
