Terminology nit: the purpose of a registrar is to allow folks the =

An alternative viewpoint is that the parent zone is responsible for the =
child zone, thus the parent registry can impose what they feel are =
appropriate requirements to ensure the zones within that registry are =
maintained correctly. If you do not agree with these requirements, there =
are now over 200 other registries to choose from (and soon to be many, =
many more).
