Nominet.name dispute

Thought this was interesting:

Domain Name Wire News Nominet in Spat Over Nominet.name - The Domain Industry's News Source

NOTnominet.name

In their letter, it says that the word 'Nominet' is a '...coined term...'. Wrong!

'Nominet' is a latin word, meaning to be 'expressly named'. It has been used for centuries.

'expresslynamed.name' actually seems potentially legitimate if you think about it!

Like it even matters. I can totally see the sense in getting the .com, but .lame, who cares?

Guess it's one way for them to spend a few k, not like they're short of cash is it
