This would be the same TLDs that don't censure registrars with a long track
record of registering domains for known phishers and spammers and the like, right?

I'd cue a Randy Bush audio clip, if only I knew that only the offender's ISP's
phone would ring. Unfortunately, this isn't the case....
What percent of the Joe Sixpacks out there could sucessfully manage their
named.root given a copy of 'DNS for Idiots' without generating at least one
trouble ticket?
Also, what do the experiences of people who had to deal with getting themselves
out of 69/8 bogon filters or thousands of different SMTP blacklists tell us about
the wisdom of having a large number of these sorts of things sitting where
end users can mangle-and-forget? Remember - most land mines are detonated
by civilians long after the war is over.....
