So, to be clear folks want to make it much more difficult for grandma-jones to return the typo'd: mygramdkids.com for mygrandkids.com right?
If grandma-jones orders custom stationery and doesn't manage to spell her name correctly, she'll end up with misspelled stationery. The main difference is that a misspelled domain name is likely to be a much cheaper mistake than misspelled stationery.
I picked on example, there have been plenty of examples in the past of folks just barely able to come up with 7$/yr for domain registration and using donated hosting for their non-profit thing. I think the root isue is: there is consumer protection today in the purchase system, do we want to remove that in the future. Or do we want to find another method to crack down on this problem without hurting consumers?
A question to the registrars here: What fraction of legitimate domain registrations are reversed because the customer didn't know how to spell, and noticed that within the five day "dictionary time"?
I know that I've made one reversal... but maybe I was being picky :)
