Verisign could load a keyword system on top of the WLS. You pay Verisign a
horrendous amount of money up front (plus rights to your firstborn) and
they give you first dibs at any WLS that has that keyword in it.

Loaded on top of that would be the BastardCorporation service. Subscribers
to that would pay Verisign $1,000,000 per day. All domain owners would then
be required to pay BastardCorporation (via Verisign) $1 for permission to
fart.

barcelona.com stolen, stmoritz.com stays. What's uniform about the UDRP?
We could ask ICANN to send WIPO a clue, but do they have any to spare?
