Really hoping nobody registers ".js" -- would wreak havoc on searches for a lot of common Javascript libraries like "underscore.js"

Similarly I could see someone registering the ".html" or ".php" tld and causing some huge issues.

Although I must admit, owning the domain "index.html" would endow huge nerd cred.



Two letter gtlds are reserved for countries only.


To nitpick, "gtlds" are generic top level domains (.com, .net, .etc), while the reserved two-letter tlds are ccTLDs (country-code top level domains).
