If .xyz, then why not .abc?

If the morons at ICANN can come up with junk extensions like .xyz, then why not introduce the slightly less junk extension of .abc?

Just wondering while I'm having my second coffee...

Well, that explains why I couldn't find the extension on registrar sites or even a wikipedia page.

I wonder how long ABC will hold onto this?

Now let's be revolutionary and launch the .123 extension

or .666

.888

.999

.111

.000

.333

Which would be the most valuable numeric tld?

.888 by far, then probably .123 .777 .789 (.666 in China)

Numeric gTLDs are not permitted under ICANN rules. Not even partially numeric. Letters only, with the exception of the hyphens in Punycode IDNs.

I realised that, I'm talking hypothetically

We can be sure, that the forever money grabbing ICANN, will introduce numbered extensions at some point.
If they can introduce junk/nonsense extensions, they can do so with numbered extensions.

The numerical tlds would be especially popular with the gambling sector

It seems unlikely. The potential for confusion with IP addresses is too great.
