Actually Revenue Canada has a long list of criteria to determine whether
an employer/employee relationship exists. These include whether the
individual provides his own office space, is responsible for the
general direction of his business, bears any financial risk related
to obtaining payment, etc., etc. I don't think there is much question
that MDs satisfy these conditions. So do contractors whose sole
source of revenue is govt contracts. 

Many people have professional services contracts with the government
(software development, accounting, legal, etc). These people, like
MDs, are generally considered to be self-employed. One difference
between these groups is that MDs have (until recently) no set limit 
on the amount of their billings -- MDs, effectively, do "piece-work."
But, most professional services contracts are based either on fixed-price
contracts or time-and-materials contracts. Now, tree-planting is also
paid as piece work, but, of course, forest companies know how many trees 
they want planted. If re-forestation was based on the same model as
our health-care system we'd probably have forests growing in the
median of the Trans-Canada Highway :). 

Anyway, it seems one approach to the problem is to
control the amount of piece-work that MDs do. Another is to adopt
the British model with clinics and salaried MDs.
I don't know how to do the first, and I don't like the second.
But the current approach of capping MD billings seems to be
a solution based on what would be easiest for the accountants.

Beats me. But some people do. An example might be someone who is operating
a UseNet node in their basement and wants to have a domain name. Should they
be forced to create an organization name that fits within the realm of what
the name czar deems appropriate?

I didn't say I did. My opinions on this matter are a closely guarded secret :-)

What I said was that some people do. I'll also note that while most places
are using the top level country ISO code as the suffix, most people don't.
I.e. most users are still in the US and they don't follow that convention.

The use of the country code originated with ISO/CCITT and X.400. The .edu/.com
suffix's originated within the Internet community. 

Please note that we DO have a .bc.ca domain address. In fact one of the first
given out to a UUCP site in Canada. Call me a flag waver I guess, cause I'm
certainly not a fan of X.400 :-)

This is more historical than anything else. UofT and Waterloo had Internet  
connections back before the '.ca' domain existed, so they joined the '.edu'
domain, which made the most sense at the time.

From the ca Application form:

Nothing much to do with BCnet and CAnet. It's a function of the CA Domain
Registrar.

Why in the world would you want a name that isn't closely related to
your company or organization?  Admittedly, it's not clear why there need
be geographical tags to the province level, but the names are hardly
more meaningful than IP numbers so why not have some useful information

Actually, it seems like everyone else in the world has a country-name

they were first and didn't really need one at the time.  Do you also
think ".uk", ".au", ".de", etc. are silly as well?

Don't be too sure. I am not sure what is driving it, but both Waterloo
and U of T are advertising internet addresses which include the .edu

Check out, if you want, addresses like "library.toronto.edu" and

I'm not aware of any restrictions on any organization joing .edu or .com at
this point in time. If SFU or UNBC wanted to join .edu it should be possible.
If I wanted to create wimsey.com I could. 

It's really a matter of taste I guess.
