Sorry RedShoe! We have read into this in depth and the info we know say that by the time these .xxx or whatever actually come in to use. the browsers will already be ready for them.

Sure it will be some sort of plug-in or addon into the browser software but it won't be changing our browsers as we know them now. Or at least not in a bad way. Worst case scenerio is adults only would be able to access this plugin to add. (according to current plans)

From what we gathered from the multitude of articles etc we have read is this: the current way the world DNS servers internal workings operate only allow for the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx IP configurement. Recently they had to add software to fix the servers to read by actual www addy. All due to the limited format of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx filling up.
Same thing that is happening worldwide with phone numbers. Area codea are having to be overlaid to cover all the idiot kids cells, beepers and those nuts in cars with a phone growing from their heads.

Hopefully the current work they are supposedly doing in some dark and dank batcave will allow the WorldWide Servers to operate on some sort of extended IP numbering system so that plugins or addons will not be needed.

If not.... and MY browser gets changed... I will drag carcasses to you for real Fx photo work RedShoe.
