Happier ?  You're not hoping that they'd add POSTED, SEEN,
and MISMATCH to their list only because one obscure USEFOR
RfC waiting in the queue for USEPRO and USEAGE says so, or
are you ?

Some folks want a TLD ".berlin", and from there to ".seen"
(= de for ".seas") would be only a small step.  Forrest's
ideas, keywords before diag and / or "impossible" keywords
starting with a dot (or maybe underscore) could guarantee
to avoid potential conflicts.
