So, supposing a TLD could demonstrate a working DNS and web setup, would you 
be more willing to consider accepting it? 

I agree that it's detrimental to have several TLDs in the 'Soon™' stage, but 
rejecting newer TLDs because a couple of older ones have not fully finished 
setting up seems like it might stop potentially good new TLDs being added to 
the network.
