You assume the site wishes to interact with other Internet hosts as a
".COM" domain. Here on my network, I could call a machine "shit.com", which
is completely IP-addressable from anywhere on the Internet, and its really
none of your business.

If it *were* any of your business, then the NIC should require a domain name
to be specified on their IP-address request form. The fact that they don't
suggests that they really don't care what the name of the machine is.

When it becomes other people's business is when the machine starts to
screw up another SHIT.COM on the Internet, which is legitimately
registered with the NIC.
