Fair enough w.r.t to the term hijacking, though "completely
irrelevant" is too absolute.  The page is still worth a read for
people, like the original poster, who are unfamiliar with the general
issues.

That article describes problems with inappropriate co-opting of what
should more suitably be NXDOMAIN responses, and further goes on to
talk about ICANN's policy position as well as the UK's.  While they
are non-binding to .ws, of course, it's still a relevant position.
