Agreed. No one else is referred to by their first name in HN headlines. The Wired article refers to her by full name or title throughout the article. And at least among Wired and HN readers, I would expect them to know who Verisign is and what they do.
I saw "verisign" and was hoping this was going to have something to do with questioning whether our roots of trust were indeed trustworthy. Squabbles over the sale of domain names? yawn.
Title is a bit odd? "Warren calls for crackdown..." might be less confusing.

I thought the queen had come back to live to make this statement... Who I think would be one of the few people referred by just that name.
All I could make of it was Elizabeth, New Jersey--a fine place, I'm sure, but not one I often hear of on HN.
Unless you hangout and get beers with her on the weekend, calling her Elizabeth might be a bit informal
I thought "uh, isn't she dead and it's Charles now?"

A .com domain is very inexpensive, often less than a dollar a month depending upon the registrar you choose, I’m just not seeing the abuse here.
