FWIW: I know a couple of people (probably on this list) who make use of
their address at dk
And I guess that works. Which shows that it is bad practice to
make assumptions about whether or not TLDs can accept mail or have
other special attributes. One of these day it will start to hunt
you. As an example, think about the assumptions that once where
made about a tld not longer then 3 (ASCII) chars, and then museum,
info and others came along.
