Possibly. Actually, being that WPI is a private institution, I suspect it ought to have been something more esoteric, like "worcesterprep.org", but I didn't feel like doing that, so I made up the k12 TLD to be akin to .edu. Plus, the way .us is administered irritated the heck out of me back when I was a hostmaster.
