i think they do.  in the 'real world' (tm) they live to
do it.  the number of unworkable, complex, insanely
stupid designs i've seen leave me with this unswerving
opinion.

i saw a proposed DNS addressing scheme that would take
an arbitrary top level domain and use that for the
the internal machines and the registered domain with
the externally visible machines.  this was smack in
the middle of the new TLD proposals.

tried to tell 'em that they had two recipes for disaster:

    - two names for the same machine would cause confusion
    - _should_ the TLD they chose be allocated _everything_
      would break

a complete waste of breath.
