there is a large difference : my dog can be named madonna and the singer
never know it. On internet, any search on "Madonna" will get all the
addresses.

however this problem is without solution : there are many duplicate names
in the world and the two letters suffix is not sufficient to make them
different. try searching "freshmeat", you wont find so easily freshmeat.net

for me I don't understand why the relevant internet name (tld) is not
larger. why not allow 5 or 6 letters. I don't think technical problems are
no more significatives; France is better than fr, deutchland better than
de...
