See http://nickle.org/name.html for the official explanation.
They claim that certain published dictionaries allow the -le.
In addition to the stuff on the web page, Bart also told me an
amusing story about the domain name squatter who they bought the
name from. He told them how much he wanted, they said "oh rats,
that's too much", then the guy was so desperate to sell the name
that he drastically lowered his price, I think to under $100.
Maybe they tried to get nickel.org first, and then discovered that
the owners of that name wanted too much...
