No one can assume anything in this fast moving world, but at least I
assume the last A of 'IANA' means 'Authority' and not 'Anarchy'.

If the aim is global connectivity there must be some common rules everybody
should follow. If someone has problems with them he can try to convince the
authority/community to change them, but in a civilized way, without trying
to impose anything to the rest of the world.
