No - of course not and as long as they have been warned - no problem - if
someone is silly enough to register such...

Sure - and the local registry might also face legal problems if they
give away an "obvious" name to joe.smoke. The assumption is that the
lcoal IR can spot the "obvious" ones - probably not always true unfortunately.

Use common sense I'd guess is the only formula - assuming there is
any... In this case, anyway, the problem is now solved I see.
