RE: Algorithm or ideas wanted for creative text parsing

David is correct, .tv is Tuvalu, but they sold the rights to the .tv domain a few years ago, so, it's a bit of a special case, in that it's a country TLD, but is not treated as such.....

Here's a link to an article on the sale of the .tv domain: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/149084.stm
