I've been corresponding with Jon Postel at ISI regarding this
discussion, trying to get some more information on their thoughts.
This is where most of my information is coming from:

:But there are no guarantees, right?

According to Mr. Postel, in email:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The US domain are now delegating portions of the US domain.  The US
domain structure is

        <local-name>.<locality>.<state-code>.US.

We will delegate a locality.  For example, we will delegate

        "Ann-Arbor.MI.US"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was news to me.

:>A quick grep/sort/uniq thru the mi maps shows 36 mi.us sites and 48
:>mi.org sites.
:Sounds like people have already voted for mi.org with their hosts.
:
:I've got yet another host here I'd be willing to register in mi.org, if 
:it's a matter of tipping the scales even further... :-)

Heh...  you're not the only one.
