For what it's worth, I didn't interpret the comment that way, and I
think it is in any case unhelpful at this point to start discussing
what could or could not have happened in some other possible world.
I ask everyone in the conversation to talk about some alternative
case if this is the sort of case we need to discuss. (I make that
request partly because there are significant disanalogies between
domain names and anything else that SPI might manage or control,
since ICANN's rules, as well as the applicable RRA, are involved with
domain names.)

Thanks,
