Subject: RE: [security-services] Tech overview: Why the switch to common TLD's in example?


I'm okay with avoiding collisions.  But using .net and .com is too
subtle IMO.  I would have completely missed it myself and would prefer
sticking to .coms.

What about something like fakeairline.com and fakecarrental.com or
exampleair.com and examplecars.com?
