Unstoppable, unless you try to register "FederalReserve" or "BankOfEngland".

Unstoppable, unless you try to register in anything other than Latin script (the rest of the world exists, you know!)

Domain names have to be a subset of ASCII, so you have to use a Latin script. However, you could use Punycode to represent non-ASCII Unicode characters, if they do not somehow prohibit that, I suppose.
Can it be used with email and NNTP and so on?
As far as I can see from the developer documentation [0], the domains resolve to a set of blockchain addresses and some meta-information about the owner. Using this for email would be non-trivial, especially considering it's an alternate root and thus is not supported by any major email provider that I know of.
