That's the wrong attitude to take, I think.

Many of us would say that adding new TLDs is silly. In practice it looks like nothing more than a way for registrars to say to the owners of widgetr.com, that they now need to pay for widgetr.abc and widgetr.xyz, too.

But there is a better reason why the new TLDs should be recognized as such: because they are TLDs. Failing to recognize them as such is incorrect behavior.
