Or perhaps domains can be on-line instantly for a $100 non-refundable "rush" fee, or be cheaper and more refundable if you don't mind waiting longer (long enough to fix the tasting issues)  And yes, I suppose ICANN or similar would have to collect or mandate the costs for it to affect all areas of the problem?

Yes, if grandma ordered a sign printed one way, and proofread it, and agreed to pay for it, and the printer printed it, then the printer is normally going to want money to make another different sign.  If grandma, or anyone else, orders a domain, and confirms that's the domain they want, and get's it activated, then they should pay at least the first years fee, no matter what...

I don't see a practical way to enforce it.

I believe the Net is an unstable system that will eventually be rendered useless
by spam/etc.  It is a cheap unlimited resource - you pay for your connection,
and you get access to things you are in no way paying for.  I don't see a way to
fix it.
