And your proposed for mechanism for "the system" to automatically suss 
this out, on a domain by domain basis, killing the domains of those who 
"cheat" by setting up an "innocuous" ISP hosted domain then move it?

If you're going to take the responsibility of running an Internet 
domain, no matter how minimal your _current_ domain management 
activities may be, you should _really_ take that responsibility, as the 
incredibly lax and open trust model the guts of the whole frikking mess 
depends on is incredibly weak and fragile as it is.

If you don't like that, then get out of the kitchen and go get a vanity 
sub-domain under a real domain managed by people who are prepared to 
face up to the incredibly light responsibilities "imposed" by WHOIS...
