Since you’ve mentioned this twice now... 

While I haven’t explicitly looked at occurrence of wpad under .web at our roots and I’m only an influencer should it ever get delegated under my company’s control I’d venture there’s an extremely low (to zero) probability that wpad.web will ever be on the retail or secondary market, much less a premium, regardless of the volume of queries.
