Sounds very logical in light of the lack of an "accepted" city code.
Of course, it would be interesting to see the response to hell.mi.us, or
climax.mi.us (with all due respect to the residents).
Some Dear-born-ites pronounce it Dear-brn, which may be where the
'dbrn' comes from. (:-) If we encourage contractions, such as DeaRBorN,
name space clashes are more likely as cities and villages with longer
names (such as Frankenmuth or Graafschap or Michigamme or Zilwaukee)
come on line.
One vote for dearborn.mi.us.
