If I had the choice, I prefer dbrn myself -- maintain consistency with
the dbrn.merit.edu Merit node. Of course, Dearborn is mostly Ford
anyway so you might as well call it ford.mi.us and have any sites in
Warren be gm.mi.us, etc. :) Seriously:
1. I thought that guidelines were in place for the .us domain such
that a specific city code was what was supposed to be used.
2. How about putting the site on mi.org?
