Quoting Marty Drill - Domain Candy on Wednesday March 23, 2005:

| ____________
| From auDA:
| 
| With regards to the allocation, they have stated that it is a service they
| provide and the service is a directory service.  So if you type
| desperatehousewives.com.au into the browser, it does actually come up with a
| directory listing.  Same with parishilton.com.au.
| ____________
| 
| So I suggest that the interpretation is that you can register a domain as a
| service of your business, if it provides a service of finding the content
| that you (user) are seeking. 

It really makes me wonder why we bother to have naming policy if the
rules are intepreted so loosely. I'd rather have more strongly enforced
policy, but we seem to be at a situation where we are just paying for
unnecessary overhead, because any restrictions are easily subverted by
anyone that tries.
