Thanks to Diane Cabell for this pointer:


BARCELONA.COM AWARDED TO THE CITY

http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/decisions/html/d2000-0505.html

The decision seemed to be based mostly on the fact that the Spanish city
of Barcelona had trademarks for the name Barcelona.  

Diane notes, this might give the New York Times, which owns Boston.com,
something to think about.
