Which regulations would apply for .SEX or .APPLE registrations? ANY ?!?!

Let's say the Apple Computer company registered .apple -- does that mean that Apple Computer could approve or deny the registration of an applicant who is an apple farmer? Would apple farmers perhaps have to buy Apple computers to register a .apple domain name?

Who would regulate the information shared on .APPLE, .SEX or any other top-level domain? Or would it be completely *unregulated*?

I find this a *VERY* disconcerting proposal -- especially because the proposal seems to suggest that the highest bidder would be the "arbiter of truth" for any given domain.
