One of the problems is that some people think these days that the DNS is so tight and that there cannot be exceptions. Such rigidity is the base for a perfect bureaucracy. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) both the DNS and various other aspects of the Internet have their exceptions. Take ISO3166 & .UK for example. Some bureaucrats wanted to move the .UK TLD to .GB in the early nineties. They backtracked soon enough when they found out some of the repercussions, costs & political implications of the difference between the United Kingdom for Great Britain & Northern Ireland vs. Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) itself.
