Trouble is.. how to tell if it's an Oz site using them?  Also,
I can't see why any ISps would really care what MelbIT wanted :)

And even if they did, then will they also try and find Australian
companies who are using .com domain names of other kinds?

Can;t see t happening, because I can't see that anyone gains.  MelbIT
isn't exactly making a profit out of .com.au, and even if they were,
why would ISPs care?
