WXW and all,

  Your tone and indication in your comments below is awful close
to justifying that .WEB and IOD may get consideration or entry
into the USG/Legacy roots in the next round.  ????

  Yet IOD does run it's own registry.  It is competitive, but not inclusive.
It is therefore by any reasonable definition, and "Alt.Root"....

  As such, inclusion of .WEB would be setting a precedent...
