I agree that in order to see how this works, people will ultimately have to connect the dots (see also http://gaggle.info/miscellaneo.....e-language ;). And when they finally do, they will begin to understand why keyword domain names such as “weather” are so valuable (though there is little reason to prefer .COM over other registries).
You can view a direct navigation engine at http://browse.name (and you can also adjust your browser to use this engine [ http://browse.name/direct.php?query= ] as the default keyword service for location bar searches (see e.g. http://support.mozilla.com/en-.....rd_service :).
