Besides being a money grab, it is silly. All it will do is create confusion and lawsuits.
1) having multiple domains is redundant. I bet McDonalds already owns McDonalds.com, McDonalds.net and Mcdonalds.org, and that they resolve to the same webpage. (No, I don't want to try it.) If I register McDonalds.XXX or McDonalds.stuff, McDonalds will accuse me of cybersquatting, (even if my name was McDonald and I had a legitimate web page going,) and sue me into oblivion. This makes having multiple suffixes pointless.
2) even if we are dealing with smaller companies that aren't going to be bullies, it is still going to confuse the public. We have fictional companies a) Direct Legal Advice, DLA.com, and b) Drunken Losers Anonymous, DLA.net. How often are people on the web going to get the wrong one? (answer: Lots!)
Not only is it pointless, it is becoming counter-productive!
