Do not paint the past in too bright colors. Besides the obvious (there
was much less users of the Internet at this time, and a more closed
community, which is easier to manage), Jon Postel made a lot of wrong
decisions, too (such as denying ".tf" - French Southern Territories -
to a French organization, then granting it without due process to a
British one, in direct violation of his own RFC 1591 "For top-level
domains that are country codes at least the administrative contact
must reside in the country involved.").
