Domain tasting; a load of hot air?

I'd suggest: 1) one week latency between registration and entry into the TLD nameservers. 2) 50% (of 1-year registration fee) 'penalty' for cancelling the registration before it hits the TLD servers. 3) $250 'surcharge' (to registrant) for 'immediate' _irrevocable_ recording in the TLD nameservers, 25% of that surcharge to be retained by the registrar, 25% to the registry operator, and 50% to IANA.

Can I assume that you, and all the other people commenting on domain tasting have filed official comments with ICANN as requested at this web page? http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-10aug07.htm Or is this just a load of hot air as usual?
